In simpler terms: Imagine a small paper disc with a specific amount of antibiotic (ceftriaxone) on it. Microbiologists use these discs to see how well bacteria grow around them on a petri dish. If the bacteria don't grow near the disc, it means they are susceptible to the antibiotic. If they grow right up to the edge of the disc, they are resistant. This helps doctors choose the right antibiotic to treat infections. Related products from HiMedia:
