Combination of AgNPs, blue light, and azithromycin against two isolates of MRSA. The triple combination of AgNPs with the blue light and azithromycin against two isolates of MRSA was assessed. The isolates were selected on the basis of synergistic response in checkerboard assay. Based on the best result of the combination in the checkerboard assay, the concentrations of the two agents were used as follow: a Isolate C41: AgNPs at 1/16 of the MIC, and azithromycin at 2 µg/mL. b Isolate N8: AgNPs at 1/16 of the MIC, and azithromycin at 0.25 µg/mL.
