Median and range of two concentration combinations for each of 5 strains.

bAt one or both concentration combinations.

c

AR Bank, CDC & FDA Antibiotic Resistance Isolate Bank; AMB, amphotericin B; CAS, caspofungin; MIN, minocycline; RIF, rifampin. Synergy was a ≥2-log10 reduction in CFU/ml in the combination compared to the most active agent alone at the specified time point. Fungicidal was a ≥3-log10 CFU/ml reduction compared to starting inoculum at the specified time point.
