Table 3.
Zone of inhibition for two antibiotics combined with carvacrol.
| Tested combination | Zone of inhibition (mm) | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Carvacrol + sulfamethoxazole + linezolid | 22 | NZI |
| Carvacrol + sulfamethoxazole + minocycline | 23 | Improved |
| Carvacrol + sulfamethoxazole + trimethoprim | 18 | NZI |
| Carvacrol + linezolid + minocycline | 22 | NZI |
| Carvacrol + linezolid + trimethoprim | 14 | NZI |
| Carvacrol + minocycline + trimethoprim | 28 | Improved |
NZI, new zone of inhibition occurrence when compared with two antibiotics combination alone; Improved, the new zone of inhibition is larger than the zone of inhibition achieved by combining two antibiotics.
