Disc Diffusion

A

Dilute antibiotics, immerse filter paper and cut to size, place discs on a plate swabbed with bacteria, incubate, and measure diameter of inhibition zone

40
Q

E Test

A

Make serial dilution of antibiotics, immerse filter paper, cut paper to strips, place strips on a plate swabbed with bacteria, determine last dilution that inhibited growth to determine minimum inhibitory concentration

Include genetically stable known reference bacteria strains, results should match set standards

46
Q

Control spreading AMR

A

Surveillance, educate, find alternatives
