Synergistic Effect between Cryptotanshinone and Antibiotics against Clinic Methicillin and Vancomycin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>

<table>Time-kill curves of MIC or 1/2 MIC of cryptotanshinone (CT), ampicillin (AMP), oxacillin (OXA), and vancomycin (VAN) alone and its combination with 1/2 MIC of AMP or OXA, and VAN against MRSA 1, 2, and 3 isolates. Bacteria were incubated with MIC of CT (●), AMP, OXA, and VAN, and 1/2 MIC of CT + 1/2 MIC of AMP (○), 1/2 MIC of CT + 1/2 MIC of OXA (<i>▼</i>), and 1/2 MIC of CT + 1/2 MIC of VAN (<i>∇</i>) over time. CFU: colony-forming units.</table>
