Claim:
1. A composition comprising one or more gram-positive bacteria cell wall or cell membrane disrupter and one or more gram-positive cell wall or cell membrane target inhibiting agent wherein the composition is capable of disrupting the cell wall such that the cell wall or cell membrane target is rendered exposed or accessible and sensitive to the target inhibiting agent, wherein the cell wall or cell membrane target is inaccessible, relatively insensitive, or less sensitive to the target inhibiting agent in the absence of the cell wall disrupting agent, wherein the composition is therapeutically effective to reduce bacterial cell growth, virulence or infection, and wherein the disrupter alone at the composition concentration is not effective in significantly reducing bacterial cell growth, virulence or infection.
