Title: What is the minimum bactericidal concentration of each antibiotic?
Post by: agent on Nov 9, 2014
The broth dilution test can be used to determine the effectiveness of an antibiotic. In this test, serial dilutions of the antibiotic were set up in the wells of a microtiter plate. Equal amounts of broth culture of Staph aureus were added to each well. After incubation, the wells were examined for bacterial growth. Wells with no growth were subcultured in nutrient broth without the antibiotic. Results were recorded as (+) for growth and (-) for no growth.
