Kirby-Bauer Plates Disk Sensitivity Method

1 Kirby-Bauer Plates (Disk Sensitivity) Method 

The formulations in US Patent 6,015, 832 (Baker 2000) were reproduced and tested together with additive materials to the emulsified particles described in this patent  

It is interesting interest to note that all of the above compounds (properties appended) dissociate in aqueous solutions to produce cations (+), and this phenomenon has been observed to provide antibacterial activity (Seymour 2001). 

Controls were employed to compare emulsions and additives mentioned in the patents to standards and known antibacterial agents such as 6% chlorhexidine diacetate in 70% isopropanol (wt/vol). Nonionic surfactants have no antibacterial activity 

Material Proteus Pseudomonas mirabilis aeruginosa 59-1244/lux Average diameter of zone, Staphylococcus aureus ATCCR 25913 mm
