In this study, we investigated the synergistic relationship between some antibiotics from the aminoglycosides functional group, which were Chloramphenicol (C30µg), CEFOTETAN (CTT30µg), AMIKACIN (AK30) and CEFAMANDOLE (MA) and the chemical drug Zoledronic acid (ZOMETA 4g) which is used in Cancer treatment. This study focuses on their Effect on Gram-positive bacteria Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus using disc diffusion method for anti-susceptibility test, and spectrophotometry method for bacteria cells count. The results of the Zoledronic acid anti-susceptibility test showed that it had no effect on both bacteria. However, the antibiotic's anti-susceptibility test on B. cereus showed resistance to the antibiotic (C30) and (MA 30), also showed the highest susceptibility pattern to the antibiotic (AK 30). while the lowest susceptibility pattern was for the antibiotic (CTT 30). While on S. aureus bacteria showed resistance to antibiotic (MA 30), with the highest susceptibility pattern to antibiotic (C 30), and the lowest susceptibility pattern to antibiotic (AK 30); The results of the synergy test (the relationship between the Zoledronic acid and the antibiotic) on both B. cereus and S. aureus bacteria showed that all antibiotics have a synergistic relationship with the drug.
