Lowest MIC of colistin in combination with clofoctol (μg/mL).
Lowest MIC of clofoctol in combination with colistin (μg/mL).
Ratio between colistin MIC and the MIC of Colclof.
Fractional inhibitory concentration index. Clofoctol had no activity against any of the strains; therefore, the MIC of clofoctol was considered 1,170 μg/mL for calculation of the FICI [FICI = (MIC Colclof/MIC Col) + (MIC Clofcol/MIC Clof)] (15).
MIC values in which colistin/clofoctol combinations showed a synergistic activity (FICI ≤ 0.5).
