Terbinafine had no effect on S. aureus growth or viability at sub-MICs (132, 164, and 328 µg/mL). A CFU/mL of terbinafine treated cells and untreated cells with no significant difference, indicating that sub-MIC had non bactericidal activity. B Terbinafine treated cells were metabolically active as control cells, confirmed by the alamar blue assay. Data shown represent the mean ± standard error from triplicate experiments
