    This document appears to be instructions for a laboratory exercise involving antibiotic sensitivity testing using the Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method. The exercise involves defining key terms related to antibiotics and drug resistance, describing the disk diffusion test and how it is used to determine microbial susceptibility to antibiotics. It also asks students to compare minimum inhibitory concentration testing to disk diffusion and observe differences in antibiotic susceptibility between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Finally, it addresses defining drug resistance, how it develops, and measures to reduce resistance.

    LABORATORY EXERCISE 9
    Antibiotic Sensitivity Testing (Kirby Bauer)

    Assessment

    1. Define chemotherapeutic agent, synthetic drug and antibiotics. Give examples for
    each.

    2. Describe the disk diffusion test for microbial susceptibility. What information can
    you get from this test?

    3. What is MIC? Compare this from disk diffusion test.

    4. What have you observed in the susceptibility of Gram-positive bacteria compare to


    gram-negative?
    5. Define drug resistance. How is it produced? What measures can be taken to minimize
    drug resistance?

    6. What is NCCLS, ATCC?
