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 are the types of susceptibility test for antibiotics?
Kirby-Bauer method (uses disk diffusion method)E-test (uses capillary disks)Spiral Gradient Endpoint test (results are interpreted by computer)Serum Bactericidal test (test amount of antibody present in patient's serum)
Is the disk diffusion technique measuring bateriostatic or bactericidal activity?
The disk diffusion technique measures bacteriostatic activity by utilizing certain triggers and tape measures that record whenever there is any noise or wavelengths emitted from the receiving end of the device.
What is diffusion length?
If you are absent from a test and you have not spoken to me personally before hand, your grade for the test will be zero.
Why test tube in experiment diffusion of solid clamped upside down?
To prevent gravitational force from attracting the particles of copper sulphate crystal causing the diffusion more faster.
The dispersal of odors is partially due to a property of gases known as?
"DIFFUSION". this is 100% right because I chose volatility in my test and it was wrong
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 would you expect if two models were compared in a diffusion test?
The rate of diffusion would be faster for the right cylinder.
What leads to irregular zone of inhibition?
excess liquid on paper disk leads to unequal radial diffusion
What is diffusion length?
If you are absent from a test and you have not spoken to me personally before hand, your grade for the test will be zero.
What result would you expect if these two models were compared in a diffusion test?
The rate of diffusion would be faster for the right cylinder.

Will the disk test be applicable to a ductile material?
yes
What is diffusion susceptibility test?
It is also called the Kirby-Bauer test. It is used to determine the effectiveness of an antibiotic against a bacterium.
What is the process by which ammonia gas is produce at the bottom of the test tube comes in contact with the litmus paper at the mouth of the test tube?
By Diffusion.........
