Question 4
2. How does the MIC test differ from the Kirby-Bauer test? The MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) test and the Kirby-Baver test are both methods used to determine the susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics However, they differ in the way they measure antibiotic susceptibility. In summa- ry, Kirby-Baver test measures the ability of an antibiotic to diffuse the ugh agar and inhibit bacterial growth, while the MIC test measures the lowest concentration of an antibiotic needed to inhibit bacterial growth. 3. Were all of the conditions of a standardized Kirby-Bauer test met as you performed this assay? If not, which were not?
