How do I use these susceptibility discs?

Transfer (inoculate) bacterial culture into nutrient broth and incubate overnight until cloudy. Add some inoculated broth to liquid agar at approximately 45°C and pour into plates.

Discs should be applied within 15 minutes of the agar setting and plates incubated shortly after application.

Discs must be in close contact with a moist agar surface.

Uniform incubation times should be used.

These do not seem to be working. What could be the reason?

Possible causes include:

Discs being opened for longer than one to two weeks.

Incorrect storage.

Non-viable bacterial cultures.

Unsuitable incubation conditions.

Use against bacteria that are not sensitive to streptomycin.

How is streptomycin strength expressed?

Streptomycin strength is expressed in micrograms rather than units.
