Virus yield was determined by HA titration at 24 h p.i. for single-step and 48 h p.i. for multistep experiments. Combination index (CI) values were generated by CalcuSyn software from duplicate samples from a representative experiment of three with similar results. NTZ-OST, nitazoxanide-oseltamivir phosphate; NTZ-OST-C, nitazoxanide-oseltamivir carboxylate.
