After 8 h of incubation, all the 74 strains tested showed visible growth and more than 75% of the readings fell in the same sensitivity groups. Nearly all the discrepancies observed could be classified as minor, and reading the plates after 8 h of incubation should be considered as a ...
The width of the zone of inhibition is a rough measure of the degree of sensitivity to the drug. A highly standardized version of the disc diffusion method, the Bauer–Kirby test, is favoured in the USA and some other countries. Characteristics of the growth medium (such as pH or the ...
4.1.2 Disc diffusion One of the easiest and quickest methods that can be used to test the antibiotic sensitivity of a bacterial isolate is disc diffusion. When testing a conventional antibiotic, this involves creating a lawn of bacteria on an agar plate and then placing an antibiotic disc or ...

Standardisation of disk diffusion readings could improve reproducibility and accuracy of antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST). This study evaluated accuracy, reproducibility, and precision of automated inhibition zone reading using the “Sirscan autom
The sensitivity for detection of resistance mechanisms largely depends on the composition of the antibiotic drug panel used in the automated microdilution systems, which cannot be changed or modified by the user [2, 7]. The disk diffusion method readily permits detection of inducible phenotypes and ...
Ten isolates from the crop and intestines broiler. Antimicrobial sensitivity test to ten different types of antibiotic were evaluated using the disc diffusion method. Inhibition zone diameter was measured of resistance or susceptibility.doi:10.3923/javaa.2011.1859.1862Behira BelkacemKihal Mebrouk...
Antibiotic sensitivity test by disc diffusion method To understand the probable antimicrobial categories of the compound produced by SM01, thirty standard antibiotics were tested against SM01. 0.1 ml of the fresh culture of SM01 was spread and antibiotic discs were placed on MH agar plate. Thi...
The App will support selective reporting of antibiotic sensitivity27, an important component of the antibiotic stewardship strategy. It will offer the option of contributing data to global AMR surveillance with institutional bodies in place such as the WHO program GLASS (Global Antimicrobial Resistance ...
