Abstract:A four plate microbiological inhibition test (the FPT) and a bioelectrophoretic method were evaluated for their ability to detect a range of antibiotic agents, which may be present as residues in animal tissues following their therapeutic use in animal husbandry. Both methods exhibited a wide range of sensitivities and several of the tested antibiotics could not be detected by either method. The pattern of responses across the bacterial plates in the FPT could not be used to identify agents and the bioelectrop… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
