Expert Solution
Step 1

 

Antibiotic disc diffusion study is also known as the Kirby-Bauer method in which the susceptibility and sensitivity of an antibiotic are tested. The disc of respective antibiotics is placed on the plate where bacteria have been swabbed and grown already which after incubation may or not produce the zone of inhibition that depends upon the type of bacteria used, respective antibiotic, and dosage.
