Microbial Assay Of Antibiotics | Antibiotic Sensitivity Test By Cup Plate Diffusion Method |

What is a microbial assay
A microbiological or we can say microbial assay is defined as.... qualitative or quantitative determination of chemical compound, from a simple or even complex material with the use of microorganisms.
Now talking about the microbial assay of antibiotics...
So this is basically used for demonstrating the therapeutic efficacy of antibiotics.
That is how much the given antibiotics are effective against specific bacteria in terms of preventing its growth ...
For microbial assay of antibiotics, Two methods are generally employed,
the cup-plate or also called cylinder-plate method
and the turbidimetric (or tube assay) method.

[@KIRUBAKAR]

Which type bacteria are used for bioassay, antibiotic resistant or antibiotic sensitive microbes?

[@BMHlearning]

Various strains can be used.
Choice of bacteria depends on the antibiotic being used.
