It was found that methanolic extract showed synergistic effect with amoxyclav (against K. pneumonia, B. subtilis, St. aureus), chloramphenicol (against K. pneumonia and St. aureus), erythromycin (against E. coli) and tetracycline (against E. coli and K. pneumonia). Combination of chloramphenicol and tetracycline with extract was found to be bactericidal against K. pneumonia, whereas, combination of erythromycin and tetracycline with extract was found to be bactericidal against E. coli (Table 3).

Do NOT bother with this report. It's a half-baked work published in a third rate (maybe 4th) journal the focus of which is plants and not microbiology. Very unlikely there was a microbiologist in review.
The article doesn't tell you the vehicle used for the extract, does not define synergism and it's "bactericidal " method is unvalidated science fair quality junk.
No it is not. The article speaks for itself - critically - it does not even identify the vehicle, does not define "synergism" it proposes to address and the "bactericidal" method is of science fair quality.
Your question in your original post clearly shows it's a half baked article.
