Effect of type
bacterial
a microbiologist hypothesized that
staphylococcus aureus is more susceptible to
antibiotics than escherichia coli. she tested her
hypothesis by exposing the two species of
bacteria to three different antibiotics. the closer
the bacteria were able to grow to antibiotic-soaked
disks, the more resistant they were to treatment
by that antibiotic
distance from disk (mm)
