Table 2 The MIC90 values and FICI parameters resulting from the the checkerboard analysis of drug interaction between L-penicillamine (L-PEN) and L-4-acetamido-2-aminobutanoic acid (AcDAB), DL-2-allyglycine (DL-ALG) or DL-glufosinate (DL-GLUF) against C. Glabrata and C. Albicans in YNB minimal medium containing sodium glutamate (SG) as a nitrogen source. FICI—Fractional Inhibitory Concentration Index. *Value used for FICI calculations, although MIC90 was not actually reached.
