The plate below is a test of 7 different antibiotics against Enterobacter aerogenes. The center disc is Ciprofloxacin 15 micrograms) and the 24 hour extent of the Zone of Inhibition is the farther diameter. The one below it and slightly to the right is Chloramphenicol (30 micrograms) [see red arrow}. Give me the extent of the Zone of Inhibition in mm (yes, use a ruler and measure it at the size it comes up on your computer screen), then use the Standard Table and determine R, I, S for each.
