The present invention generally concerns particular methods and compositions for antimicrobial therapy. In particular embodiments, the compositions target DXR. In some cases, the antimicrobial agent comprises an electron-deficient hydrophobic group that has interacts with Trp211 of DXR. In specific embodiments, the compound contains electron-deficient heterocyclic rings that specifically interact with the electron-rich indole ring of Trp211. In certain aspects, the compositions comprise a phosphate group, a pyridine group, and a hydroxymate group.
