  2. Minimum inhibitory concentration - Wikipedia

    This may be adjusted by incubation time and dilution. For verification, the positive control is plated in a hundred fold dilution to count colony forming units. The microbes inoculate the tubes (or plate) and are incubated for 16–20 hours. The MIC is generally determined by turbidity. [21]

  3. 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.

  4. 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]

  5. Methyl isocyanate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_isocyanate

    Methyl isocyanate (MIC) is an organic compound with the molecular formula CH 3 NCO. Synonyms are isocyanatomethane and methyl carbylamine . Methyl isocyanate is an intermediate chemical in the production of carbamate pesticides and Haffmann Bromamide Degradation (such as carbaryl , carbofuran , methomyl , and aldicarb ).

  6. Microbiological culture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbiological_culture

    Microbial cultures on solid and liquid media. A microbiological culture, or microbial culture, is a method of multiplying microbial organisms by letting them reproduce in predetermined culture medium under controlled laboratory conditions.

  7. Antibiotic sensitivity testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibiotic_sensitivity_testing

    [1] [9] The results of antimicrobial susceptibility tests performed during a given time period can be compiled, usually in the form of a table, to form an antibiogram. [31] [32] Antibiograms help the clinician to select the best empiric antimicrobial therapy based on the local resistance patterns until the laboratory test results are available ...

  8. Diagnostic microbiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnostic_Microbiology

    Incubation times vary based upon the microbe that requires culturing. Traditional culturing techniques, for example, require less than 24 hours culture time for Escherichia coli but 6–8 weeks for successful culturing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis before definitive results are expressed. [5]

  9. Incubation period - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incubation_period

    The time required for development in the mosquito ranges from 10 to 28 days, depending on the parasite species and the temperature. This is the extrinsic incubation period of that parasite. If a female mosquito does not survive longer than the extrinsic incubation period, then she will not be able to transmit any malaria parasites. [citation ...
