DetailsThe total number of cells, that is, maximum bacterial growth rate, is represented by maximum heat production. The antibiotic dose, at first, increases the rate of heat production due to the activity of resistant mechanisms that are energy-dependent, and afterwards heat production decays due to the loss of activity and death of the …

Disc diffusion is still the most popular method for determining bacterial antibiotic susceptibility in the treatment of infectious disease, as highlighted by the international …
DetailsDiffusion testing works by placing an antibiotic disc onto an agar plate containing bacteria. The plate is incubated for up to 24 hours and during this time, the antibiotic diffuses throughout the plate, forming a concentration gradient surrounding the disc. 64 As the antibiotic concentration decreases, bacteria are more likely to grow. …
DetailsAntibiotic discs. Only the clinically relevant antibiotics are tested in antibiotic susceptibility tests. Antibiotic discs (6-mm filter paper discs) can be prepared from pure antimicrobial agents in laboratories or can be obtained commercially. The discs are applied with sterile forceps, a sharp needle, or a dispenser onto the surface of the ...
Details4. Application of sensitivity-discs Remove one sensitivity disc from the cartridge with the help of a flamed forceps and carefully place it on the surface of the medium. Finally, press it tightly with the forceps to make complete contact with the surface of the medium. Allow the plate to stand at room temperature for 30

DetailsWith most antibiotics, this lies at a point 6 mm from the edge of the antibiotic disc, so that an annular radius of 6 mm (18 mm diameter) was selected as the uniform cut-off point. The advantages of a uniform cut-off point for the majority of antibiotics are obvious in that it obviates the need for interpretative charts.
