123 Minimum Inhibitory Concentration

123 Minimum Inhibitory Concentration

Author: The Royal Veterinary College February 12, 2021 Duration: 47:31

Back in our virtual studio joining myself and Brian we are delighted to have Dr Siân Frosini Lecturer in Veterinary Clinical Microbiology here at the RVC. Siân did her undergraduate training here at the RVC and her PhD, and we are truly delighted that she has stayed on. We thought that we’d talk about bacteriology, sample submission and what do these reports with minimum inhibitory concentration actually mean. We hope that you enjoy.
