The rationale of the FICI study considered two possibili- ties, viz., (a) adverse effect on the antimicrobial action of SNP in the presence of commonly used antibiotics and (b) beneficial effect of certain antibiotics in combination with SNP to provide enhanced and broad spectrum antimicrobial to handle infections of mixed etiology. Our results showed an antagonistic effect of SNP-chloramphenicol combination. On the other hand, additive and synergistic effects were seen for SNP combinations with streptomycin, kanamycin, poly- myxin B sulfate, ampiclox and ceftazidime. These results suggest that, in the future, such combinations could be developed for getting more effective formulations. Combined antimicrobial activity of silver-water dispersion (colloidal silver) and antibiotics against seven bacterial strains was studied by de Souza et al.25 and reported synergistic combination with amikacin and cefoperazone. The post agent effect (PAE) is an important pharmaco- dynamic parameter investigated during the development of an antimicrobial agent. It contributes to the choice of antimicrobial dosing regimens and is defined as length of time that bacterial growth is suppressed following brief exposure to the antimicrobial agent. Generally, the PAE (25) de Souza, A.; Mehta, D.; Leavitt, R. W. Bactericidal activity of combinations of Silver-Water Dispersion with 19 antibiotics against seven microbial strains. Curr.
