Question
Chapter 9.3, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The relationship between the diameter of growth inhibition and antibiotic susceptibility in the Kirby-Bauer test.
Introduction: The medium that is recommended while performing an antibiotic susceptibility test is the Mueller Hinton II agar. This is because the medium has a pH of 7.2-7.4, which is similar to the pH of the blood inside the human body. The medium also contains starch, which is good to absorb the toxins released by the bacteria that do not interfere with the antibiotics.
