Question

Table 6 outlines interpretive standards of antibiotic resistance based on the size of inhibition zones. For example, many bacterial species that are resistant to Kanamycin have an inhibition zone of 13 mm or smaller. Of course, inhibition zones may also be affected by the antibiotic concentration present within the disk. Use Table 6 to determine whether the microbial samples you tested are sensitive (S), moderately resistant (MR), or resistant (R) to each of the antibiotic disks. Remember, you will not know the exact species of bacteria on your "Skin" and "Local" plates. The table is a guide to compare your results to a standard. (20 points)
