2. Minimum inhibitory concentration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_inhibitory...

   In microbiology, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is the lowest concentration of a chemical, usually a drug, which prevents visible in vitro growth of bacteria or fungi. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] MIC testing is performed in both diagnostic [ 1 ] [ 2 ] and drug discovery laboratories.

3. Antibiotic sensitivity testing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibiotic_sensitivity_testing

   The minimum inhibitory concentration, which is the lowest concentration of the antibiotic that stops the growth of bacteria, can be estimated from the size of the zone of inhibition. Antibiotic susceptibility testing has been needed since the discovery of the beta-lactam antibiotic penicillin. Initial methods were phenotypic, and involved ...

4. Minimum bactericidal concentration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_bactericidal...

   The minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) is the lowest concentration of an antibacterial agent required to kill a particular bacterium. [1] It can be determined from broth dilution minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) tests by subculturing to agar plates that do not contain the test agent.

5. Antimicrobial pharmacodynamics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_pharmacodynamics

   The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration are used to measure in vitro activity of antimicrobial agents. They are good indicators of antimicrobial potency, but don't give any information relating to time-dependent antimicrobial killing (the so-called post antibiotic effect). [1]

6. Etest - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etest

   A strain of bacterium or fungus will not grow near a concentration of antibiotic or antifungal if it is sensitive. For some microbial and antimicrobial combinations, the results can be used to determine a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Etest is a proprietary system manufactured by bioMérieux. It is a laboratory test used in healthcare ...

7. Bactericide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bactericide

   Bacteriostatic agents have been effectively used for treatment that are considered to require bactericidal activity. Furthermore, some broad classes of antibacterial agents considered bacteriostatic can exhibit bactericidal activity against some bacteria on the basis of in vitro determination of MBC/MIC values.

   An active-duty Marine was recently arrested after Google searches led Florida investigators to suspect he murdered a reality TV star and dumped her body in an Alabama pond. Willie Ellington, 20 ...

9. Disk diffusion test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_diffusion_test

   The disk diffusion test (also known as the agar diffusion test, Kirby–Bauer test, disc-diffusion antibiotic susceptibility test, disc-diffusion antibiotic sensitivity test and KB test) is a culture-based microbiology assay used in diagnostic and drug discovery laboratories. In diagnostic labs, the assay is used to determine the susceptibility ...
