Broth Microdilution

Testing Broth Microdilution testing is a common microbiological method used to determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of an antibiotic or other drug on a particular bacterial or fungal species. This testing method is used to determine the drug’s ability to inhibit or kill the microorganism, based on the minimum amount of drug that prevents the organism’s growth. MIC testing is a key component of the drug-sensitivity testing in clinical laboratories and is used to determine the effectiveness of an antibiotic in treating a particular infection, allowing clinicians to select the most effective medical treatment.
