Disc diffusion test is a qualitative test method. This method is based on the principle that antibiotic-impregnated disk,
placed on agar previously inoculated with the test bacterium, picks up moisture and the antibiotic diffuse radially outward
through the agar medium producing an antibiotic concentration gradient. The concentration of the antibiotic at the edge of the disk is high and gradually diminishes as the distance from the disk increases to a point where it is no longer inhibitory for the organism, which then grows freely. A clear zone or ring is formed around an antibiotic disk after
incubation if the agent inhibits bacterial growth.
Technical specifications
| The agar depth should be 4.0 ± 0.5 mm. The inoculum suspension should optimally be used within 15 and always within 60 min of preparation to ensure the correct number of viable cells. During inoculation, prohibit the use of flooding the plates. Antibiotic disks should be applied within 15 min of inoculation and start incubation within another 15 minutes. |
