Bacterial Antibiotic Sensitivity Teaching Kit

Description

Antibiotic sensitivity describes the susceptibility of bacteria to various antibiotics. Clinical microbiologists have a major role to play in prescribing antibiotics for either treatment or prophylaxis of infection. The antibiotics for therapy are selected after performing Antibiotic Susceptibility Test (AST). It is often done by the Kirby- Bauer method in which antibiotic impregnated discs or standardized antibiotic solutions are used to test the susceptibility of any bacterial strain to a specific antibiotic.
