The medium must first be inoculated with a standardized inoculum (EUCAST recommendation: McFarland 0.5) of a fresh pure culture of the bacterial strain to be tested. After a 24-hour incubation, growth is checked, the inhibition zones around the test discs are measured, and for the determination of susceptibility (S - Susceptible at standard exposure, I - Possibly susceptible at increased exposure, R - Resistant) compared with the clinical breakpoints for the various antibiotics tested. The diameter of the inhibition zones corresponds to the susceptibility of the tested bacterial strain to the antibiotic concentration at the edge of the inhibition zone. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can find various service documents, such as templates with inhibition zone limits for easy evaluation of the agar diffusion test and a collection of guidelines in our\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aurosan.de\/de\/mediathek\/fuer-kunden\"\u003e media library\u003c\/a\u003e Contents and storage:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e·Cartridges with 50 test discs each\u003cbr\u003e·Store at 2-8° C.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs an alternative to agar diffusion, we recommend agar dilution, which can be partially automated, for example, with the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aurosan.de\/images\/mediathek\/produktinformationen-urologie-gynaekologie\/MICRONAUT-Produktinformationen.pdf\"\u003eMICRONAUT system\u003c\/a\u003e, and for which there are increasingly more and more precise clinical breakpoints, i.e., since EUCAST 10.0 (2020) at the latest, certain antibiotics can only be tested using agar dilution, and no longer using agar diffusion (!).
