What is a disk diffusion test?
In the disk diffusion test (also called the Kirby Bauer test), disks containing an antimicrobial agent are placed on the surface of an agar plate containing a medium that has been inoculated with the disease agent being tested, which will grow and fill the disk. The antimicrobial agent diffuses into the medium, killing some of the disease agent around where the anitmicrobial agent was innoculated, depending on how susceptible the disease agent is to the antimicrobial agent. The size of the area cleared of the disease agent shows how effective the antimicrobial agent is.
What is an MIC 90 as a measure of antibiotic activity?
The MIC is the lowest concentration of antimicrobial agent which inhibits the growth of the microorganism
What is an ideal antimicrobial agent?
Usually ROS (reactive oxigen species), such as H2O2, are great antimicrobial agents. Also any radioactive substance. Finally, arsenic (which is anti-every living thing)

Is chlorhexidine bactericide or bacteriostatic agent?

Desirable characteristic of an ideal antimicrobial agent?
There are 6 factors that influence the efficacy of antimicrobial agents. They are, number and location of microorganisms, innate resistance of microorganisms, the potency of disinfectants, organic and inorganic matter, duration of exposure, and physical and chemical factors.
