Zones of inhibition in disk diffusion test of a bacterial isolate. Each of the antimicrobial agents tested, except the two at the upper right, is surrounded by a zone of some diameter in which there is inhibition of bacterial growth; the isolate is thus susceptible to these agents. The absence of zones of inhibition around the two agents tested at the upper right edge of the plate indicates the isolate is resistant to them.
