Question
Chapter 10, Problem 14CT
Summary Introduction
To answer:
In what way a physician chooses a suitable therapeutic agent in cases when he is unable to access bacteria or has insufficient time for treating the disease.
Introduction:
Theantibiotic sensitivity of bacteria is analyzed by agar diffusion, Kirby–Bauer test, or test disk diffusion test. These tests are involved for using the antibiotic discs to check the extent that bacteria are destroyed by those antibiotics. The dilution tests are used to examine the minimum inhibitory concentration of the antibiotics.
