In the disk-diffusion assay, a large zone of inhibition around a disk to which a chemical disinfectant has been applied indicates _______________ of the test microbe to the chemical disinfectant.

When inoculating the plate for the antimicrobial drug susceptibility disk diffusion assay, you streak _____ using the streak-plate method to obtain single colonies. all over the plate multiple times to obtain confluent growth all over the plate once to obtain confluent growth. In the antimicrobial drug susceptibility disk diffusion assay, the antimicrobial drug concentration on an agar plate is lowest in the agar medium closest to the disk and increases as the drug moves away from the disk. highest in the agar medium closest to the disk and decreases as the drug moves away from the disk. the same throughout the agar medium.
