  2. 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).

  3. 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.

  4. Minimum inhibitory concentration - Wikipedia

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

    Depending on the pathogen and antibiotics being tested, the media can be changed and/or adjusted. The antimicrobial concentration is adjusted into the correct concentration by mixing stock antimicrobial with media. The adjusted antimicrobial is serially diluted into multiple tubes (or wells) to obtain a gradient. The dilution rate can be ...

  5. Contact-dependent growth inhibition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact-dependent_growth...

    This change in gene expression leads to increased biofilm formation in the bacterial population through a phenomenon now known as Contact-Dependent Signalling. Furthermore, the T6SS in V. cholerae is active in biofilms, enabling a cell expressing T6SS to kill nearby cells which do not have the specific immunity. [5]

  6. Bactericide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bactericide

    Bactericidal antibiotics kill bacteria; bacteriostatic antibiotics slow their growth or reproduction. Bactericidal antibiotics that inhibit cell wall synthesis: the beta-lactam antibiotics ( penicillin derivatives ( penams ), cephalosporins ( cephems ), monobactams , and carbapenems ) and vancomycin .

  7. Marbofloxacin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marbofloxacin

    The bactericidal activity of marbofloxacin is concentration dependent, with susceptible bacteria cell death occurring within 20–30 minutes of exposure. Like other fluoroquinolones, marbofloxacin has demonstrated a significant post-antibiotic effect for both gram– and + bacteria and is active in both stationary and growth phases of bacterial ...

  9. Antibiotic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibiotic

    An antibiotic is a type of antimicrobial substance active against bacteria. It is the most important type of antibacterial agent for fighting bacterial infections, and antibiotic medications are widely used in the treatment and prevention of such infections. [1] [2] They may either kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria.
