Sentence examples for using a disk diffusion from inspiring English sources
Using a disk diffusion test, we were able to exclude any direct bactericidal activity of fibrates toward Salmonella (Supplementary Fig S2).
The susceptibilities were determined by using an E-test for penicillin and cefotaxime, and using a disk diffusion method for cefepime, erythromycin, clindamycin, vancomycin, and linezolid.
Methicillin resistance was determined using a disk diffusion test performed on Mueller-Hinton agar after incubation for 24 to 48 hours at 30°C.
