Process for the determination of microbial sensitivity to antimicrobial agents

Claim 1

A PROCESS FOR THE DETERMINATION OF BACTERIAL SENSITIVITY TO ANTIBIOTICS, COMPRISING THE STEPS OF PLACING A DISC OF DARK FILTER PAPER WHICH IS UTILIZED FOR TH EASIER PERCEPTIBILITY OF BACTERIAL CONONIES AGAINST A DISC OF LIGHT FILTER PAPER WHICH IS UTILIZED FOR THE EASIER PERCEPTIBILITY OF PIGMONT AND HEMOLYTIC PROCESS, THEN IMPREGNATING PREMARKED ATEAS ON THE TWO DISCS WITH VARIOUS ANTIBIOTIC SOLUTIONS TO PROVIDE FOR THE RAPID DETECTION OF SAID BACTERIAL SENSITIVITY, EACH OF THE ANTIBIOTIC SOLUTIONS HAVING A TRIPHENYLTETRAZOLIUM CHLORIDE TO PROVIDE FOR THE RAPID DETERMINATION OF BACTERIAL SENSITIVITY, A WATER-INSOLUBLE NON-TOXIC RESIN FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ROSIN AND SHELLAC TO PREVENT THE ANTIBIOTICS FROM BEING WASHED AWAY AND TO PROVIDE FOR A SLOW DIFFUSION OF THE TRIPHENYLTETRAZOLIUM CHLORIDE INTO THE SURROUNDING AREAS OF SAID PAPERS, AND THEN DRYING THE DISCS IMPREGNATED BY THE SOLUTIONS AT THE MARKED AREAS, SAID NON-TOXIC RESIN BEING ADDED AS A SOLUTION OF 0.5 PERCENT CONCENTRATION.
