30 pencitin would be uselers 2. The following results were obtained from a disk-diffusion test against a bacterium: Antibiotic Zone of Inhibition (mm) 12 12 Which drug should be used to treat an infection caused by this bacterium? Briely explain. broth dilution test can be used to determine the effectiveness of an antibiotic. In this test, serial of the antibiotic were set up in the wells of a microtiter plate.
