MIC, FIC and FIC indices of LNA and MPM against KPC-KP cells.

Antimicrobial agents KPC-KP
Type of interaction
MICO FIC FICI FICIc
LNA (%, V/V) 2.5 1.25 0.50 1.00 Additive
MPM (μg/mL) 32 16 0.50

MIC: minimum inhibitory concentration; FIC: fractional inhibitory concentration; LNA: linalyl anthranilate; MPM: meropenem; KPC-KP: carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae. MICO: MIC of one component alone; FIC: MIC of one component in the most effective combination; FICIC: total FICI of the combination of both samples. FICIc ≤0.5: synergistic; FICIc >0.5–4.0: additive; FICIc >4.0: antagonistic.
