Reading the Results of our Antibiotics Test

Upon retrieving our antibiotic test from the incubator, we saw the following...


We measured the diameter of the clearing around each of the antibiotics used to determine the sensitivity of our bacteria to each antibiotic. We found...
  • Penicillin: 27mm--sensitive
  • Vancomycin: 22 mm--sensitive
  • tetracyclin: 25 mm--sensitive
  • Erythrocyclin: 31 mm--sensitive
  • Chloromphenicol: 30 mm--sensitive
  • Neomycin: 20 mm--sensitive
In conclusion, our bacteria is VERY sensitive to a lot of antibiotics...yet another distinguishing characteristic!
