What Does FIC Stand For?
FIC stands for Fractional Inhibitory Concentration
Fractional Inhibitory Concentration (FIC) is a quantitative measure used to assess the effectiveness of antimicrobial agents in combination therapy. It represents the lowest concentration of an antibiotic that inhibits bacterial growth in the presence of another agent, allowing for the evaluation of potential synergistic or antagonistic interactions. The FIC is calculated by determining the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of each drug alone and in combination, facilitating insights into optimal treatment strategies for infections.
