98 points : ) explain what the zone of inhibition is and how it works with bacteria and/or antibiotics.

Hey there!

Zone of Inhibition Testing is a fast, qualitative means to measure the ability of an antimicrobial agent to inhibit the growth of microorganisms. In the world of antimicrobial substances/surfaces, the degree to which these materials are inhibitory can be of vital importance to the health of the consumer. This test is a qualitative way for people to test the inhibition levels of their substances
