Antibiotic discs are essential for determining bacterial susceptibility to antibiotics. These small paper discs impregnated with known concentrations of different antibiotics are placed on the surface of agar plates. Using the Kirby-Bauer method, these discs help identify effective antibiotics by creating clear inhibition zones around each disc on an agar plate. This quick, reliable test guides antibiotic selection and tracks resistance trends, supporting both targeted patient care and broader microbial resistance management.
