Microbiology: Antibiotic Susceptibility, Resistance, and ESBL Part 1

This video describes how antibiotics affect bacteria, modes of bacterial antibiotic resistance, and laboratory identification of antibiotic resistance.

Nice video.
To be clear (towards the end of the video), carbapenemases can be on the chromosome or plasmid, but that the recent rise in concerns about carbapenemases are related to ones that are plasmid encoded, particularly KPC.

What organism they used to inoculate the plate ?

[@joeexotic1811]

are there any other safety precautions i should follow besides wearing gloves/googles/lab coat when conducting this experiment?

[@MedicalLabLadyGill]

That's it

[@waoo.d]

If the two circles stick together, how do I measure them?

[@MedicalLabLadyGill]

Great question! Always measure at the most narrow point across an area of no growth.

[@weinpanda6020]

I was waiting what pattern it is that makes a bacteria as esbl positive. It’s very informative, but the title is misleading at the same time.
