This document discusses antimicrobial susceptibility testing, which determines how well a microbe will respond to different antibiotic drugs. There are two main methods: disk diffusion testing, which uses disks containing antibiotics placed on an agar plate, and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) testing, which finds the lowest concentration of antibiotics that prevents microbial growth. The results of these tests guide the selection of effective antibiotic treatment based on whether a microbe is susceptible, resistant, or intermediately resistant to various drugs.

Antibiotic sensitivity test PPT by Dr.C.P.PRINCEDR.PRINCE C P
Antibiotic sensitivity test: in vitro testing of bacterial cultures with antibiotics to determine susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotic therapy.
A laboratory test which determines how effective antibiotic therapy is against a bacterial infections.
Antibiotic sensitivity testing will control the use of Antibiotics in clinical practice
Testing will assist the clinicians in the choice of drugs for the treatment of infections.
Helps to guide the Physician in choosing Antibiotics
The accumulated results on different pathogens their sensitivity will guide the physician in choosing empirical treatment in serious patients before the individual’s laboratory results are analyzed in the Microbiology laboratory.
Reveals the changing trends in the local isolates.
Helps the local pattern of antibiotic prescribing.

A culture test is performed to find germs (such as bacteria or a fungus) that can cause an infection. It is done by using a culture media for their growth
Susceptibility testing is used to determine which antimicrobials will inhibit the growth of the bacteria or fungi causing a specific infection. The results from this test will help a healthcare practitioner determine which drugs are likely to be most effective in treating a person's infection.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

This presentation provides a briefing on how to upload submissions and documents in Google Classroom. It was prepared as part of an orientation for new Sainik School in-service teacher trainees. As a training officer, my goal is to ensure that you are comfortable and proficient with this essential tool for managing assignments and fostering student engagement.

Andreas Schleicher presents at the OECD webinar ‘Digital devices in schools: detrimental distraction or secret to success?’ on 27 May 2024. The presentation was based on findings from PISA 2022 results and the webinar helped launch the PISA in Focus ‘Managing screen time: How to protect and equip students against distraction’ https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/education/managing-screen-time_7c225af4-en and the OECD Education Policy Perspective ‘Students, digital devices and success’ can be found here - https://oe.cd/il/5yV
2. Definition and Purpose
• In vitro tests that measure the growth of an
isolated microbe in the presence of particular
drug or drugs (antibiotics) in order
to predict the in vivo success or failure of
antibiotic therapy
• The results - guide the choice of antibiotics (+
clinical information and experience)
3. Methods for antimicrobial susceptibility
testing (1)
• Disk difusion (Kirby Bauer):
– swab bacterial suspension on agar plate
– place small filter paper disks impregnated with
a standard amount of antibiotic
– incubate overnight
– zone of inhibition of bacterial growth =
measure of susceptibility (predefined cutoffs):
• large zone = susceptible
• small / no zone = resistant
• zone between the above = intermediate
4. Disc difusion antimicrobial susceptibility test
– Kirby Bauer -
Various sizes of
growth inhibition
around different
antibiotics
Interpretation:
zone size diameter
compared to cutoffs
for each
antibiotic-microbe
pair
5. Methods for antimicrobial susceptibility
testing (2)
• MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) =
minimum concentration of antibiotic that will
inhibit the growth of a microorganism
Measurement methods:
- Broth dilution
- E-test (Epsilometer test)
6. MIC (continued): Measurement methods
Broth dilution:
- Bacteria inoculated in culture broth + antibiotic (various
concentrations) and incubated
- MIC = the lowest concentration of antibiotic which
inhibited bacterial growth
7. MIC (continued): Measurement methods
E-test:
- plastic strips impregnated with
decreasing antibiotic
concentrations (log scale)
- strips applied on agar
microbial culture and
incubated
- eliptic inhibition zone intersects
the MIC value scale (μg/ml) at
the level of MIC
- shape resembles Greek letter
”Epsilon” (ε)
8. Methods for antimicrobial susceptibility
testing (3)
• MBC (minimum bactericidal concentration) = minimum
concentration of antibiotic that will kill 99.9-100% of the
microbes of a tested bacterial strain
- Less used than MIC; more time consuming
- Indicated in:
- severe infections in immunocompromised patients,
- infections in anatomic sites hard to reach with antibiotics e.g.
endocarditis, osteomyelitis
