Anti-Bacterials laboratories may also do the following tests:

Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing (AST): Determining the sensitivity of bacteria to various antibacterial agents to guide treatment Testing
Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) Assessment: Measuring the lowest concentration of an antibiotic that will inhibit the visible growth of a bacterium Testing
Disk Diffusion Test (Kirby-Bauer Test): A method to evaluate the efficacy of antibiotics on bacteria grown in a petri dish Testing
Broth Dilution Test: For determining the MIC and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of antibiotics against bacteria Testing
Etest (epsilometer test): A gradient method that provides an MIC value Testing
combining aspects of the disk diffusion and broth dilution methods Testing
