What is an A disk in microbiology?
You'd have to be more specific in your question. However, disks are often laden with antibiotics to see if a bacteria is resistant or susceptible to that antibiotic. The disk is placed on a nutrient agar and then bacteria is spread onto that disk. If the bacteria is susceptible to that antiobiotic, it will grow on the nutrient plate, but not around the disk containing the antibiotic. The larger the clear area around the disk, the more susceptible the bacteria is to that antibiotic. If it is resistant to that antiobiotic, it will grow on the plate and adjacent to the antibiotic laden disk indicating that antibiotic is not effective towards that particular bacterial strain. In one such test the A disk had bactracin. However, I am not comfortable saying that all A disks have bactracin. How the disk is labeled may differ.
Please define resistant colony from a microbiology standpoint?
Resistant colonies are small colonies found in the zone of inhibition around an antibiotic disk.
Is a ruptured disk the same as a budging disk?
No. The disk between the vertebra is like a sandwich. It has a filling that we call a disk. If the disk is pushed out a little bit, it is called a budging disk. If it comes out most of the way or all the way, it is a ruptured disk. This is more serious as it can push on the nerves so much so that you will need surgery. The other can sometimes be treated by physical therapy but it can get worse and rupture.
The Population II stars in your galaxy are located a in the halo but not in the disk b in neither the halo nor the disk c in both the halo and the disk d in the disk but n?

The smallest addressable unit of storage on a disk is called a sector.

Is antibiotic beyond the zone of inhibition?
the area (zone) in which bacteria cannot grow due to the presence of an antibiotic paper disk
Is sputum and culture sensitivity used to diagnose pneumonia?
What can cause germination of a disk
What is the cpt code for urine sensitivity disk test?
F/M = Nitrofurantoin

What factors must be carefully control in the Kirby-Bauer method?
purity of culture, depth of seeded layer, incubation temp, agar temp, size of inoculum, distribution of inoculum, incubation period, diffusion rate of antibiotic, concentration of antibiotic on disk, growth rate of bacterium.

What is another word for Kirby- Bauer test?
The Kirby-Bauer test, known as the disk-diffusion method, is the most widely used antibiotic susceptibility test in determing what treatment of antibiotics should be used when treating an infection.
What is disk organisation?
disk organisation is when you organise a disk
What is Portable disk?
The term 'portable disk' refers to portable memory for a computer that is in the shape of a disk, such as a CD, DVD, or floppy disk. (On a floppy disk the disk part is on the inside)
How can you see your files on floppy disk when you are asked to format the disk?
When prompted to format the floppy disk, click NO. Especially if the disk has files that you wish to access. Formatting the disk erases EVERYTHING on the disk and starts the disk anew.
How do you wipe out data on a floppy disk?
You can use the delete command appropriate to the filesystem of the diskette. You can fully format the diskette using the format utility provided. If you're concerned about sensitivity of the data, you should destroy the diskette using fire or some similar means. It's extremely difficult to "delete" data from a diskette in a way that is definitely unrecoverable.
