  2. IC50 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IC50

    Half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC 50) is a measure of the potency of a substance in inhibiting a specific biological or biochemical function. IC 50 is a quantitative measure that indicates how much of a particular inhibitory substance (e.g. drug) is needed to inhibit, in vitro , a given biological process or biological component by 50% ...

  3. McFarland standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McFarland_standards

    A 0.5 McFarland standard is prepared by mixing 0.05 mL of 1.175% barium chloride dihydrate (BaCl 2 •2H 2 O), with 9.95 mL of 1% sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4). [ 1 ] Now there are McFarland standards prepared from suspensions of latex particles, which lengthens the shelf life and stability of the suspensions.

    It is used to measure the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration [MIC] of an antimicrobial agent, which is the lowest concentration of antimicrobial agent that will inhibit the growth of microbes. The turbidity of the tubes indicates the amount of microbe growth, with the least turbid, or clear, tubes (tubes 6 and 7) correlating with the absence of ...

  5. 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.

    Like the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, EUCAST offers guidelines to interpret raw minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs), the lowest concentration of a chemical, usually a drug, which prevents visible growth of bacterium.

  7. Agar dilution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agar_dilution

    Agar dilution is one of two methods (along with broth dilution) used by researchers to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics. It is the dilution method most frequently used to test the effectiveness of new antibiotics when a few antibiotics are tested against a large panel of different bacteria. [1]: 149 [2]

  9. 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.
