BACTERIAL SENSITIVITY TEST KIT Abstract of the Disclosure Disclosed herein is a method for the rapid determination of the susceptibility of pathogenic bacteria to antibacterial agents that correlates to the Kirby-Bauer method. An apparatus and test element, composed of a mixture of an antibacterial agent and a redox indicator dispersed in an inert pad, also are disclosed. The apparatus includes a tray divided into a plurality of compartments each of which contains the test element, each test element comprising the pad impregnated with a redox indicator and a different antibacterial agent. Each pad is inoculated with the bacteria in a nutrient medium and the apparatus is incubated. The redox indicator color change determines the sensitivity or resistance of the tested bacteria, and the change correlates with the accepted Kirby-Bauer method. The apparatus and method for the determination of the susceptibility of pathogenic bacteria to antibacterial agents is particularly useful since it is rapid, simple and requires inexpensive equipment and supplles. -1-
