E-strip testing can be used to determine a drug MIC against an organism. Which ONE of the following is correct?
The zone of inhibition is inversely proportional to the activity of the drug
The E-strip result guides to the maximum drug concentration that can be used to clear an infection
The E-strip is impregnated with a fixed concentration of drug
The E-strip is used broadly clinically to determine if an organism is resistant to a drug
The MIC is read where bacterial growth touches the E-strip
the zone of inhibition can be used to determine the susceptibility of the bacteria to wards the antibiotic.it is found in KB test.
the MIC value is the lowest Or minimum concentration of an antibiotic that inhibit bacterial growth completely.
The E test strip determine the inhibitory potential of a single antimicrobial agent over a large range of concentrations.
AST and AFST test are use to determine drug resistance of a drug . E test are not used for this.
