How Does the Ward's® Antibiotic Sensitivity Kit Work?
The Ward's® Antibiotic Sensitivity Kit utilizes a disc diffusion method to determine the susceptibility of bacteria to various antibiotics. The process involves the following steps:
1. Inoculation
A bacterial sample is inoculated onto an agar plate using a standardized technique. Multiple bacteria can be tested simultaneously, making the process highly practical and efficient.
2. Placement of Antibiotic Discs
Antibiotic discs are carefully placed on the agar plate, ensuring equal spacing and proper positioning. Each disc contains a specific antibiotic concentration.
3. Incubation
The agar plate is then incubated at optimal conditions to allow bacterial growth. During this time, susceptible bacteria will not grow around certain antibiotic discs, indicating their effectiveness against the tested strain.
4. Result Interpretation
After incubation, the healthcare professional or researcher assesses the zone of inhibition around each antibiotic disc, indicating the susceptibility of the bacteria to the respective antibiotics.
