We are following up on antibiotics that inhibit contaminants in our Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus media but not L. crescens. We continue the search for commercially available antibitoics that inhibit Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus. The first version of our pipeline paper in now complete. This paper describes a logical set of steps toward the identification of antibiotics effective against ctirus greening disease. The final pillar of data needed to submit the paper is data from NuFarm on their field trials. These data are now available and we expect to complete the paper by February for submission to a journal. Our role in the NuFarm trials has primarily been data analysis.
