The antibiotic susceptibility testing result of Staphylococcus aureus showed absence of growth on the zones of penicillin, ampicillin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol disk. Interpret the result.

See Explanation

Explanation:

We define antibiotic susceptibility testing as an evaluation of the ability of  antibiotics to inhibit bacterial growth. This test is necessary because certain bacteria may have developed resistance to certain antibiotics.

Hence, if the antibiotic susceptibility testing result of Staphylococcus aureus showed absence of growth on the zones of penicillin, ampicillin, tetracycline and chloramphenicol disk, then it implies that these antibiotics are all largely effective against Staphylococcus aureus and could be used for treatment of Staphylococcus aureus infection.
