While testing susceptibility of a bacterial species to an antibiotic using Kirby Bauer disk diffusion technique, the species is considered sensitive to the antibiotic used as long as a zone of inhibition is produced around antibiotic disk. True or False.

True/False. If drug A produces a larger zone of inhibition than drug B on the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion test, drug A should always be prescribed.
