HiPer® Antibiotic Sensitivity Teaching Kit is based on Kirby Bauer diffusion method demonstrating the susceptibility of micro-organisms to different antibiotics.
It demonstrates the efficacy of various medicinal compounds against bacterial isolates. This kit uses the Disc Diffusion method to measure the Zone of Inhibition for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Education.
HiPer® Antibiotic Sensitivity Teaching Kit allows classification of bacterial strains as susceptible, resistant, or intermediate to various antimicrobial agents.It is based on Kirby Baver diffusion method. In this method, the antibiotic impregnated discs are placed on the Mueller Hinton Agar plates on which the bacterial culture is spread. As the antibiotic impregnated disc comes in contact with the moist agar surface, water is absorbed in the disc paper and the antibiotic diffuses out in the surrounding medium. When an organism is sensitive to any antibiotic, a clear zone appears around that specific disc where the growth has been inhibited (zone of inhibition) whereas if an organism is resistant no clear zone of inhibition appears.
