The Kirby-Bauer Method for Antibiotic Susceptibility (with examples)

The video tutorial explains the Kirby-Bauer Method, a technique used to determine the susceptibility of bacteria to various antibiotics. It involves measuring the diameter of the zone of inhibition around antibiotic disks on a culture plate. The method is efficient for testing multiple antibiotics simultaneously and is commonly used in hospitals. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on measuring zones and interpreting results using a table, with examples using hypothetical antibiotics.
