Heading 1 Heading 2 Title Subtitle Subtle Em Paragraph Styles 2 5.16 17.(2 points) Klebsiella is tested by disk diffusion assay (Kirby-Bauer test). A reference table is shown below to interpret the zones of inhibition. Antibiotic Resistant in mm Intermediate(mm) Susceptible (mm) Cefotaxime 11 12-13 A. What would the minimum zone diameter be in this test that would indicate the organism is susceptible? B. If a tech used too high of an inoculum, for example used a solution of 10 million bacteria per ml instead of 100,000 per ml, would you expect an incorrect result of Resistant or Susceptible?

Answer 1

Aus :- Ay The minimum Zoue diameter according to the given table be susceptible should be 14 mm. the organism to B) The inoculum used as 100 times more Concentrated than the one used to determine the table data, the Love of inhibition will become smaller for the resistate of susceptible result is . The because the antibiote Concentration is the same while the bacterial Concentration is Encreased. Hence Eeffect of antibiote will be lesser Extent. This way result in an Encorrect result of resistance of susceptible. to a Answer Please Rate my
