Inoculate MH plate
Incubate plate 18-24 hr, 35 C Measure and record zone of inhibition around each disk
Measure from the edge where the growth stats, BUT there are three exceptions
With sulfonamides and co-trimoxazole, ignore slight growth within the zone Certain Proteus spp. may swarm into the area of inhibition When beta-lactamase producing Streptococci are tested, zone of inhibition are produced with a heaped-up, clearly defined edge, regardless of the size of the inhibition zone, they should be reported as resistant

INTERPRETATION
The main concept is the clinical categorisation"
Strains are sorted according to level of Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) versus reference breakpoints
MIC <
MIC <
MIC

UNDERSTANDING BREAKPOINTS
Words of laboratory specialists It is not possible to work alone
Breakpoints are the expression of a consensus among the scientific community at a given time in a country Breakpoints are determined using two approaches
Pharmacological concept
Epidemiological concept

Resistant strain
Measuring antimicrobial sensitivity of a strain isolated from a patient, to determine its status as S, I or R is an individual problem Defining the status of a bacterial species or genus is an epidemiological problem distributed across time and space that requires monitoring

Agent may be efficacious if concentrated in vivo in an infected body fluid (e.g., urine)
Sometimes there is uncertainty Intermediate resistance may represent a buffer zone that prevents strains with borderline susceptibility from being incorrectly categorized as resistant

Use Mueller-Hinton medium for antibiotic sensitivity determination Use appropriate control cultures Use standard methodology for the test
DR.T.V.RAO MD

INVESTIGATION ON ERRORS
Quality of media should be investigated
pH will affect macrolides, tetracycline's and aminoglycoside In this case the pH was too low acidic Ideal pH 7.2-7.4
