The median absolute coefficient of variation of the differences between observed and predicted percent growth at each drug combination among the replicates of all strains ranged from 60 to 124% (median, 95%) for the SP method, 142 to 227% (median, 173%) for the COL method, and 24 to 49% (median, 40%) for the mCOL method with the semiparametric approach and from 69 to 191% (median, 123%) for the SP method, 118 to 343% (median, 236%) for the COL method, and 23 to 56% (median, 36%) for the mCOL method with the nonparametric approach.

b

The R2 from the nonlinear regression analysis for the fully parametric Greco model ranged from 0.76 to 0.93 (median, 0.88). The IC50s ranged from 0.23 × 103 to −7.2 × 103 mg/liter (geometric mean, 22.1 mg/liter) of terbinafine and from 0.53 to 32.9 mg/liter (geometric mean, 4.2 mg/liter) of miconazole. Relatively high IC50s of terbinafine were obtained after 72 h of incubation. The slope (m) ranged from −0.1 to −0.53 (median, −0.16) for terbinafine and from −0.27 to −4.4 (median, −0.44) for miconazole.

c

The R2 from the nonlinear regression analysis for the Emax model of the semiparametric approach ranged from 0.73 to 0.99 (median, 0.88). The IC50s ranged from 0.57 to 1,028 mg/liter (geometric mean, 11.4 mg/liter) of terbinafine and from 0.19 to 43.74 mg/liter (geometric mean, 4.43 mg/liter) of miconazole. The slope (m) ranged from −0.10 to −0.86 (median, −0.35) for terbinafine and from −0.24 to −1.63 (median, −0.45) for miconazole.
