MIC: It is the lowest concentration
of the antimicrobial agent that inhibits the growth of the test organism but not necessarily kills it.
MBC(minimum bactericidal conc.):
It is the lowest concentration of the antimicrobial agent that kills the test organism.
Bactericidal drugs have MBC 2-4 times MIC.
Bacteriostatic drugs have MBC much higher than MIC.
The breakpoint of an antimicrobial agent:
It is the concentration of the drug which can be achieved in the serum with optimal dose.
Susceptible organisms: are those with MICs at/below the breakpoint.
Resistant organisms: are those with MICs above the breakpoint.
INDICATIONS FOR DETERMINING THE MIC
1 -Serious infections e.g., infective endocarditis.
2 -Slow-growing organisms e.g., Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
METHODS FOR DETERMINATION OF MIC
1 .Serial dilution method
2 .Agar diffusion method
3 .E- test

SENSITIVITY TESTING
SENSITIVITY TESTING
Sensitivity testing is used Sensitivity testing is used to to determine determine the susceptibility of the microorganism the susceptibility of the microorganism to various antimicrobial agents.to various antimicrobial agents.
It can be done by : Plate diffusion method using disc. Minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC].
SENSITIVITY TESTING
Antibiotic sensitivity testing by the disc diffusion method:
Principle; Rapid Accurate Inexpensive
The diameter of the resulting zones of inhibition that surrounds a disc that has been impregnated with a specific concentration of the agent will be a measure of the effectiveness of the antibiotics on the microorganism.
SENSITIVITY TESTING
There are two types of antibiotic:-
Narrow spectrum active against Gram +ve only or Gram –ve
only
Broad spectrum antibiotic active against both types of bacteria
The recommended medium →
Mueller Hinton agar
** The pH of the medium ( 7.2-7.4)
**5% defibrinated sheep blood is added to the medium for certain fastidious organisms.
The inoculum:
The turbidity of a broth culture / saline suspension of the test organism has to match a defined standard
“0.5 McFarland” (a barium sulphate standard)
( the matched inoculum should give confluent growth).
SENSITIVITY TESTING
Materials: Cultures of E. coli. Filter paper disc impregnated in antibiotic
solutions. Different antibiotic solutions. Muller Hinton agar plate. Loop. Forceps.
