Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) is the lowest concentration of an antibiotic that prevents visible growth of a bacterium. In the table, at 10 μg/ml, there is no visible growth, indicating it is the MIC. Growth in subculture indicates whether the bacteria were inhibited or killed at that concentration.
