Antibiotic sensitivity tests typically involve culturing the bacteria from a sample taken from the patient and exposing it to various antibiotics. Common methods include the disk diffusion method, where antibiotic-impregnated disks are placed on the bacterial culture, and the broth dilution method, which determines the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics that can inhibit bacterial growth. The results guide healthcare providers in selecting the most effective antibiotic treatment.
