Which of the following procedures is currently used for evaluating antimicrobial susceptibility of a pathogen causing an infection by detecting the lowest dilution with NO bacteria present which is confirmed by subculturing all no growth tests? We use this procedure because we can correlate the results with various body fluids such as serum, bile, and cerebral spinal fluid.
Kirby-Bauer
serumcidal level
Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)
Minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC)
E-test
What is sodium azide and why can lactic acid bacteria grow in its presence? Why does it inhibit other bacteria?
