broth microdilution

How is Broth Microdilution Performed?

The process involves preparing a series of dilutions of the antibiotic in a liquid growth medium, inoculating them with the target bacteria, and incubating to observe growth. The MIC is the lowest concentration that inhibits visible bacterial growth. Nurses should be familiar with this procedure as it aids in understanding lab results and communicating effectively with the healthcare team.
