A

Mass spectrometry

19
Q

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing

A

Guide for reactions with antibodies

20
Q

MIC

A

Concentration that inhibits growth

21
Q

MBC

A

Concentration that kills bacteria

22
Q

Bacteriostatic

A

Inhibits growth
MBC > 4 X MIC

23
Q

Bactericidal

A

Kills
MBC = MIC

24
Q

Kirby Bower

A

Disk diffusion
Antibiotics put on film of bacteria, zone of inhibition = diameter of circle - determine if susceptible, resistant, intermediate

25
Q

Broth dilution

A

Determine MIC
Add bacteria to tube with diff [ ]
Cloudy = growth, clear = no growth
Can plate to determine MBC

26
Q

E-test

A

Determine MIC
Antibiotic on plate, diffusion gradient
