The emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) organisms is indeed a great challenge to current medical science. These multi-antibiotic-resistant pathogens complicate treatment regimens and thereby result in increased health costs, morbidity,
The integration of bioinformatics with traditional microbiological testing methods, namely Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) tests, creates a very powerful synergy in modern drug development. In
Antimicrobial drug resistance has developed into a rising issue leading to a negative impact on global public health. The evolving bacteria have developed new mechanisms to withstand antibiotic effects, thus
Zone of Inhibition (ZOI) and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) tests are important microbiological techniques used in determining the efficacy of certain substances developed to combat harmful microorganisms. Although these tests
Drug sensitivity testing is important for determining the effectiveness of antimicrobial agents targeted at specific pathogens. This process guides the treatment decisions thus avoiding the misuse of antibiotics and helping
Zone of Inhibition (ZOI) testing is a fundamental method used in microbiology to assess the effectiveness of antimicrobial agents. This test measures the area around a treated sample where bacterial
The CSN EN 1040 standard sets requirements for testing of the bactericidal activity of chemical disinfectants and antiseptics. An understanding of the standards by the manufacturers is important for ensuring
Antibiotics have been of great importance in the treatment of infectious diseases for the past several decades. In order to address the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains in response to
Zone of Inhibition (ZOI) testing is a simple, yet effective method that serves as an initial screening tool to identify promising compounds, evaluate potency and guide subsequent research. Nowadays, the
In the fight against infectious diseases, the dosing of antibiotics has to be just right enough for treatment to be effective and not enough to raise resistance. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration
