Determination of minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of an antibiotic

1.What does MIC stand for in microbiology?

a: Microbial Inhibition Concentration b: Minimal Inhibition Capability c: Minimum Inhibitory Concentration d: Microorganism Inactivation Control

2. Which of the following methods is commonly used to determine the minimal inhibitoryconcentration (MIC) of an antibiotic?

a: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) b: Western blotting c: Disc diffusion test d: Broth dilution method

3. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) is typically expressed in

a: Grams per milliliter (g/mL) b: Units per milliliter (U/mL) c: Micrograms per milliliter (μg/mL) d: Milligrams per milliliter (mg/mL)

4. Which of the following best describes the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of an antibiotic?

a: The highest concentration of an antibiotic that kills all bacteria in a sample. b: The lowest concentration of an antibiotic that inhibits visible bacterial growth. c: The concentration of an antibiotic required to prevent bacterial resistance. d: The concentration of an antibiotic that exhibits side effects in the host.

5. What is the purpose of determining the MIC of an antibiotic?

a: To assess the cost-effectiveness of the antibiotic b: To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of the antibiotic c: To guide appropriate dosage and treatment duration d: To measure the toxicity of the antibiotic
