Result Interpretation
MIC= The lowest concentration of the antimicrobial agent that will inhibit the
growth of the microorganism being tested (clear).
The broth control tube included in the assay contains everything except the
inoculum of test strains. This control tube should remain clear (no growth). Growth
in this tube is an indicator of contamination of one of the components of the test
system. In that case, the assay is invalid and should be repeated.
