front 1 1. Penicillin is made by a fungus and used to kill bacterial cells. Therefore, penicillin is an example of a(n) | back 1 antibiotic |
front 2 An antimicrobial that is effective against many types of pathogenic bacteria would be considered a_____agent | back 2 Broad spectrum |
front 3 what information does Kirby Bauer method provide | back 3 Sensitivity and resistance to antibiotics |
front 4 what type of medium is used in the Kirby Bauer Method | back 4 Mueller Hinton |
front 5 What tool is usually used for inoculating the agar when creating a bacterial lawn | back 5 sterile swab |
front 6 After inoculating in this way, how will the plate appear after inoculation? | back 6 Non isolated bacterial colonies all over the surface |
front 7 What are the disks used for in this method | back 7 They contain different antibiotics |
front 8 True or false if the zone of inhibition is large, the organism must be sensitive to the anibiotic | back 8 false |
front 9 When testing for synergism of antibiotics, how many different disks are applied to the bacterial lawn? | back 9 2 |
front 10 7. What does synergism mean? | back 10 The effectiveness of both antibiotics is better than either antibiotic alone |
front 11 In a Kirby-Bauer antimicrobial susceptibility test, the antimicrobial disk with the largest zone of inhibition is the one that the test organism is most sensitive to. | back 11 False |
front 12 If the Mueller-Hinton agar plate used for the Kirby-Bauer test is too thin, what effect will this have on the diameter of the zones of inhibition? | back 12 They will be larger they would be on a plate of the appropriate thickness |
front 13 If you test ten different gram-positive and gram-negative organisms and find that almost all of them are sensitive to a particular drug, what would be that drug's spectrum of activity? | back 13 Broad spectrum |
front 14 Please choose the method of antimicrobial susceptibility testing that involves measuring and evaluating zones of inhibition around antibiotic disks placed on a culture of bacteria prior to incubation. | back 14 Kirby Bauer test |
front 15 A chemical compound, regardless of its source (either natural or synthetic), that is capable of killing or inhibiting microorganisms is referred to as | back 15 an antimicrobial |
front 16 | back 16 no data |
front 17 Which choice below briefly describes the Kirby-Bauer method of antimicrobic sensitivity testing? | back 17 disk diffusion |
