Antimicrobial susceptibility test discs are used for determination of susceptibility of bacteria to antimicrobial agents, applying in vitro diffusion method.
Regression lines for each antimicrobial have been prepared using agar dillution method for Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) to obtain specific zone sizes. Antimicrobial susceptibility test discs are 9 mm in diameter and each disc (with specific antimicrobial agent) is colour coded for safe identification. The discs are manufactured under aseptic conditions by dry process, resulting in extra stability even at normal room temperature (3-4 years).
