Synergism between vancomycin and gentamicin or tobramycin for methicillin-susceptible and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains.
By the time-kill curve method, the combinations of vancomycin-gentamicin and vancomycin-tobramycin were shown to be synergistic against a majority of methicillin-susceptible and -resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus.
