Although the Kirby Bauer disk test is a powerful tool, it does have some limitations. Which of the following best describes a limitation of this test?
it does not allow you to test multiple antimicrobials simultaneously
it does not allow you to determine the minimal inhibitory concentration of the antimicrobial
it does not allow you to test Gram negative bacteria
it is time more time consuming than the tube dilution test
| A) | it does not allow you to test multiple antimicrobials simultaneously | |
| B) | it does not allow you to determine the minimal inhibitory concentration of the antimicrobial | |
| C) | it does not allow you to test Gram negative bacteria | |
| D) | it is time more time consuming than the tube dilution test |
Solution
one of the major limitation of the Kirby Bauer disk test is that:
a. It does not allaow you to test multiple antimicrobials simultaneously.
Only a small population of particular microbe can be tested at a time.
