Which of the following describes a potential outcome when there's regrowth of bacteria around an antibiotic disc? A) Indicates a complete resistance to the antibiotic B) Demonstrates effective treatment with antibiotics C) Represents ongoing bacterial susceptibility D) Shows ambiguity in bacterial response
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the interpretation of bacterial behavior concerning an antibiotic disc, specifically concerning regrowth and what it indicates regarding antibiotic resistance or susceptibility.
Answer
Indicates a complete resistance to the antibiotic
The final answer is A) Indicates a complete resistance to the antibiotic
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is A) Indicates a complete resistance to the antibiotic
More Information
Regrowth of bacteria around an antibiotic disc suggests that the bacteria are not inhibited by the antibiotic, indicating resistance.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming regrowth indicates some level of susceptibility or ambiguity, rather than recognizing it as a sign of resistance.
