摘要: Coptis chinensis alkaloids are used as antimicrobial agents for a long time. This study was to investigate the potential antibacterial activity of alkaloids combinated with moxifloxacin. It was found that Coptis chinensis alkaloids combined with moxifloxacin had obviously synergistic bactericidal efficacy. The fractionary inhibitory concentration index (FICI) to Staphylococcus aureus [CMCC (B) 26003], Escherichia coli [CMCC (B) 44102] and Bacillus subtilis [CMCC (B) 63501] were 0.625, 0.75 and 0.05625, respectively. These results could lay the foundation of cutting down the wide use of chemical antimicrobials in the future.
