What does mean sensitivity test in microbiology?
It's an evaluation of how much of a given antibiotic is needed to kill or impair the growth of the microbe found in the culture. For the clinician, it gives information about which antibiotics are more likely to be helpful for a given infection.
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)
What is the lawn plate method?
The lawn plate method is a microbiological technique used to assess the antimicrobial activity of substances, such as antibiotics or disinfectants. In this method, a bacterial culture is evenly spread across the surface of an agar plate to form a "lawn" of bacteria. Small wells or disks containing the test substances are then placed on the agar, and after incubation, the zones of inhibition around the wells or disks indicate the effectiveness of the antimicrobial agent against the bacteria. This method is widely used in research and clinical settings to evaluate new antimicrobial compounds.
How do calculate Minimum inhibition concentration for Antibiotics?
Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) for antibiotics is determined using methods like broth dilution or agar dilution. In the broth dilution method, a series of test tubes containing a culture medium and varying concentrations of the antibiotic are inoculated with the microorganism. The MIC is the lowest concentration of the antibiotic where no visible growth occurs after incubation. Alternatively, the agar dilution method involves incorporating different antibiotic concentrations into agar plates and observing the growth inhibition zone.
Paper disc diffusion method?
Paper disc diffusion method is used to see what antibiotics or compounds inhibit bacterial growth, or are bacteriostatic. The paper discs are soaked with a select antibiotic or chemical and then placed on a lawn of bacteria in a petri dish. The zones of inhibition are measured around where the disc was placed to determine whether the bacteria was resistant or susceptible to the particular antibiotic or chemical chosen.
How could you test different antibiotics to see which is most effective?
You can't test it on human, but you can make a bacterial culture in a petri dish and put some sponge disk that contains different antibiotics and see which one works the best. There is other techniques but all you get is an "antibiogram" that gives you a list of antibiotic with the effectiveness for the specific bacteria.
Can taking 3 different antibiotics in a month and a half make you start your period 2 days before the placebo pills?
Yes it can. Antibiotics also lower the effectiveness of birth control pills so there is a chance you may be pregnant. See your doctor for a blood test.

Can you still get pregnant on the pill if you've been feeling sick and you were taking steriods and antibiotics about a month ago?
Yes you certainly can. Antibiotics are known culprits to decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills. See your doctor for a blood test.
How would the characteristics of different types of Cablelink and component impact on the test?
The thickness of the cablelink and its component will affect the effectiveness of the test.
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.
Can antibiotics affect CBC blood test?
No, antibiotics will not effect the result of a blood test, but you should always inform the person performing the test what antibiotics you are taking.
Would taking antibiotics affect your period if you are on birth control pills and had your period two weeks early and then had it again the week after?
No. But Antibiotics are known culprits to decrease the effectiveness of birth control pill. Because of this you need to rule out pregnancy and see your doctor for a blood test.
Can antibiotics cause false pregnancy?
Antibiotics do not affect the accuracy of a pregnancy test. Pregnancy test results are quite specific.
What is a Micro-culture and sensitivity test?
A culture and sensitivity test is a laboratory method used to identify the presence of microorganisms like bacteria or fungi in a sample (such as blood, urine, or wound fluid) and determine which antibiotics or antifungal medications would be most effective in treating an infection. This test helps healthcare providers select the most appropriate treatment and avoid the misuse of antibiotics.
What is preliminary trial?
A premininary trial is done before hand to show the effectiveness of a method.
