Amoxicillin + RABYL-TOL (4)0.25 (S)2.125 (NI)

The synergistic effect is expressed as the fractional inhibition concentration index (FICI), calculated from the MIC of the various compound/antimicrobial combinations. The FIC index interactions were defined as follows: FICI ≤0.5, (S) synergy >0.5 to ≤4.0 (NI) no interaction, and >4.0, (AT) antagonistic.
