Determination of Antimicrobial Resistance of Salmonella in Pork

Methods Mol Biol. 2021:2182:179-186. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-0791-6_16.

Abstract

Antimicrobial susceptibilities testing is used for evaluating and monitoring the resistance of bacteria to antimicrobial agents. Here we describe three commonly used methods for testing susceptibility to antimicrobial agents in Salmonella, including the disk diffusion method, the broth microdilution method, and the agar dilution method.

Keywords: Antibiotic dilutions; Antimicrobial disk; Inhibition zone; Inoculum suspension; Minimal inhibitory concentration.
