33.
Alternate method for
measuring zones FIG. 32. Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion susceptibility test protocol, an alternate method for measuring zones. If the zones of adjacent antimicrobial disks overlap, the zone diameter can be determined by measuring the radius of the zone. Measure from the center of the antimicrobial disk to a point on the circumference of the zone where a distinct edge is present. Multiply this measurement by 2 to determine the diameter of the zone of inhibition. In this example, the radius of the zone is 16 mm. Multiply this measurement by 2 to determine a zone size of 32 mm for this organism- antimicrobial combination.

Staphylococcus saprophyticus resistant
to novobiocin FIG 33. Staphylococcus saprophyticus was diluted in TSB (.25 mls 24 hr old broth culture into 5mls TSB) then swabbed onto a Mueller Hinton agar for confluent growth a Novobiocin disc (30 µg) then incubated at 37oC for 48 hrs. S. saprophyticus is resistant (no zone of inhibition) to novobiocin. This test is used as a way to differentiate between Staphylococcus saprophyticus (resistant), Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis (both sensitive). Staphylococcus saprophyticus is ~9mm. (Tasha Sturm, Cabrillo College, Aptos, CA) American Society For Microbiology ©

Staphylococcus aureus was diluted in TSB (.25 mls 24 hr old broth culture into 5mls TSB) then swabbed onto a Mueller Hinton agar for confluent growth a Novobiocin disc (30 µg) then incubated at 37oC for 48 hrs. Staphylococcus aureus is sensitive with a zone of inhibition >20mm. This test is used as a way to differentiate between Staphylococcus saprophyticus (resistant), Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis (both sensitive). Staphylococcus aureus is ~41mm.

Bacitracin test FIG. 36.
Bacitracin test done on a lawn of Streptococcus pyogenes grown on blood agar. The zone of inhibition around the bacitracin disc, approximately 14mm measuring the entire width of the zone, indicates sensitivity. The zone of inhibition is red because the red blood cells did not lyse. Grown for 24 hrs at 370 C. (Tasha Sturm, Cabrillo College, Aptos, CA) American Society For Microbiology ©
