There are several methods for conducting sensitivity testing:
Disk Diffusion Method: This involves placing antibiotic-impregnated disks on a bacterial culture. The area around the disk where bacteria do not grow indicates sensitivity. Broth Dilution Method: This involves diluting antibiotics in a liquid medium with the bacteria and observing the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) that prevents bacterial growth. E-test Method: This combines aspects of both the disk diffusion and broth dilution methods, using a strip with a gradient of antibiotic concentrations.
