Term: Broth Dilution Susceptibility Test

Description:

The broth dilution susceptibility test is a laboratory technique used in microbiology to determine the effectiveness of antimicrobial agents against microorganisms. It involves diluting the antimicrobial agent in a liquid medium, such as broth, to establish a range of concentrations. The broth containing the diluted antimicrobial agent is then inoculated with the microorganism of interest and observed for growth inhibition. This test helps in determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the antimicrobial agent.

Sample Sentences:

1. The broth dilution susceptibility test revealed that the antibiotic was highly effective in inhibiting the growth of the bacteria.
2. Doctors rely on the results of the broth dilution susceptibility test to choose the most appropriate antibiotic for a patient's infection.
3. Researchers conducted a series of broth dilution susceptibility tests to evaluate the efficacy of a new antimicrobial drug.
