The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of Antibiotics: Methods, Interpretation, Clinical Relevance [PDF]
Inefficiency of medical therapies used in order to cure patients with bacterial infections requires not only to actively look for new therapeutic strategies but also to carefully select antibiotics based on variety of parameters, including microbiological. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) defines in vitro levels of susceptibility or resistance of
