Anti-Microbials laboratories may also do the following tests:

In Vitro Susceptibility Testing: Assessing the effectiveness of antimicrobial agents against specific microorganisms in a controlled environment Testing
Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) Testing: Determining the lowest concentration of an antimicrobial that will inhibit the visible growth of a microorganism Testing
Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) and Minimum Fungicidal Concentration (MFC) Testing: Measuring the lowest concentration of an antimicrobial that will kill a certain percentage of the original inoculum Testing
Time-Kill Assays: Evaluating the rate at which an antimicrobial agent kills bacteria Testing
providing insight into the pharmacodynamics of the agent Testing
Biofilm Susceptibility Testing: Assessing the efficacy of antimicrobial agents against microorganisms growing in biofilms Testing
which are more resistant to treatment Testing
