a MIC: Minimum inhibitory concentration, MFC: Minimum fungicidal concentration, FICI: Fractional Inhibitory Concentration Indices, FFCI: Fractional Fungicidal Concentration Indices. Synergistic FICIs were in bold. b Kre-Me was tested up to 16 μg/mL. For calculation purpose, 32 μg/mL (doubling of 16 μg/mL) was used. c KA was tested up to 64 mM. For calculation purpose, 128 mM (doubling of 64 mM) was used. d Student’s t-test for paired data (combined, i.e., chemosensitization) was vs. mean MIC or MFC of each compound (alone, i.e., no chemosensitization) determined in three strains (Calculation was based on [39]).
