Flashcards

Tube Dilution Method

A technique used to determine the susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics using a series of tubes containing different concentrations of the antibiotic.

Disc Diffusion Method

A method used to determine the sensitivity of bacteria to a specific antibiotic by observing the growth of the bacteria around a disc impregnated with the antibiotic on a plate.

E-test

A rapid method for determining the sensitivity of bacteria to antibiotics using a strip impregnated with a gradient of antibiotic.

Nutrient Agar

A culture medium that supports the growth of a wide range of bacteria, used for the initial isolation and cultivation of bacteria.
