The culture 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 24 hours of incubation, growth is checked, inhibition zones around the test discs are measured, and compared with clinical breakpoints for the various antibiotics tested to determine susceptibility (S - Susceptible at standard exposure, I - possibly susceptible at increased exposure, R - Resistant). 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\"\u003emedia library\u003c\/a\u003e.

That is to say, since EUCAST 10.0 (2020) at the latest, certain antibiotics can only be tested by agar dilution, and no longer by agar diffusion (!). We would be happy to advise you on this and help you find the best solution for you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 13.3333px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"box-sizing: border-box\"\u003eDownloads:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 13.3333px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aurosan.sharepoint.com\/:b:\/s\/AUROSAN_4Y\/IQCX7a_4zcSfRLmKnDvGFc2HAeG_btp8A3yDj585QXTez70?e=ZP9x9e\" title=\"Instructions for use\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; text-underline-position: from-font; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none; color: rgba(0, 114, 198, 1)\"\u003eInstructions for use\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Thermo Fisher Diagnostics GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56933219205452,"sku":"MD100915","price":39.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/1056\/9036\/files\/BC_Upload_3c64c9fd-d2e7-480b-b740-f4505e79da80.png?v=1773255431","url":"https:\/\/aurosan-shop.de\/en\/products\/gentamicin-gen-10-%c2%b5g-5x-50-bl-oxoid","provider":"aurosan-shop.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
