In order to evaluate the in vitro synergic effect of Mahwangyounpae-tang which was a traditional poly-herbal formula has been used in the treatment of respiratory diseases in oriental medicine, and quinolone antibiotics, ciprofloxacin (CPFX), the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC), $MIC_{50}$ and MIC90 of single use of quinolones and concomitant treatment with Mahwangyounpae-tang against 5 strains of aerobic gram negative bacteria, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella peumoniae, Hemophilus influenzae, Citrobacter freundii and Pseudomonas aeruginosae. The obtained results were as follows : In the case of aerobic gram negative bacteria, the MIC, $MIC_{50}$ and $MIC_{90}$ against Klebsiella peumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosae was significantly decreased in concomitant treated groups with Mahwangyounpae-tang compared to those of single treated groups of CPFX, respectively. However, no significant changes were demonstrated against Echerichia coli, Hemophilus influenzae and Citrobacter freundii. According to these results, it is considered as the in vitro antibacterial activity of CPFX was dramatically increased by concomitant use of Mahwangyounpae-tang against some strains of aerobic gram negative bacteria and the increase and selectivity of antibacterial activities against strains were chosen by the selectivity of Mahwangyounpae-tang not CPFX activity.
