Chapter 27.1, Problem 2TQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The bacteriostatic or bactericidal nature of a drug based on a test performed on the MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) series.
Introduction:
Minimum inhibitory concentration is the lowest concentration of a drug that prevents visible growth of the bacteria. A bacteriostatic agent is a biological agent that inhibits the growth of the bacteria whereas a bactericidal agent is the one that kills the microscopic organisms. The broth is a liquid medium for the culture of bacteria that contains essential nutrients for the bacterial growth.
