Active

Description

Identical concentrations of an organism isolate is inoculated 1) into a series of increasing dilutions of antibiotic in culture broths or 2) on increasing dilutions of antibiotic incorporated into agar plates, and allowed to incubate overnight. The concentration of the lowest dilution of antibiotic where no growth of the organism being tested is visible is the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the drug. The MIC is typically reported as ug/mL or mg/L.[Balouiri, Mounyr., Sadiki, Moulay., Ibnsouda, Saad Koraichi. "Methods for in vitro evaluating antimicrobial activity: A review".
