TABLE 5.

Checkerboard assay results for disulfiram synergy with vancomycin in three VRSA strains

Strain MIC (μg/ml)
FICa ΣFICb
VAN DSF VAN/DSF
HIP14300 >128 16 16/0.5 0.03 <0.16 (S)
AIS 2006045 >128 16 8/1 0.06 <0.12 (S)
AIS 1000505 >128 16 4/1 0.06 <0.09 (S)
a

That is, the lowest FIC measurement of DSF in combination with VAN.

b

That is, the lowest ΣFIC measurement. Results: synergy (S), ≤0.5; indifferent (I), 0.5 < to ≤4; antagonism (A), >4.
