Place the steps of the kirby-bauer method of antibiotic susceptibility testing in the order in which they are performed

What will be an ideal response?


Answer:
1. using a cotton-tipped swab, inoculate a plate of mueller-hinton agar with the bacteria to be tested, covering all surfaces of the plate in order to develop a lawn of growth
2. place antibiotic disks onto the surface of the inoculated plate, and tap slightly so that they will adhere to the surface
3. incubate the inverted plate at 37 degrees C overnight
4. observe plate and measure diameters of the zones of inhibition
5. compare diameters to chart of interpretive criteria
