**Antibiotic Testing Results**| Antibiotic | Zone of Inhibition ||------------|---------------------|| A | 15 mm || B | 0 mm || C | 7 mm || D | 15 mm |**Questions:**a. Which antibiotic was most effective against the bacteria being tested?b. Which antibiotic would you recommend for treating a disease caused by this bacterium?c. Was antibiotic A bactericidal or bacteriostatic? How can you tell?**Explanation of the Table:**The table outlines the effectiveness of four different antibiotics (A, B, C, and D) tested against a particular bacterium. The effectiveness is measured by the "Zone of Inhibition," which indicates the area around the antibiotic where bacteria cannot grow.- Antibiotics A and D both show a zone of inhibition of 15 mm, indicating they are effective in preventing bacterial growth.- Antibiotic B has a 0 mm zone of inhibition, meaning it is ineffective against the bacterium.- Antibiotic C has a 7 mm zone of inhibition, showing moderate effectiveness.**Discussion:**- A larger zone of inhibition typically indicates greater effectiveness of the antibiotic, as it signifies a larger area where bacteria are unable to grow.- Whether an antibiotic is bactericidal (kills bacteria) or bacteriostatic (inhibits bacterial growth) can sometimes be inferred from additional testing or known characteristics of the antibiotic, beyond the zone of inhibition.
