    Abstract:
    The conventional technique for determining the sensitivity of bacteria to antibiotics is slow and a more rapid method becomes mandatory. The authors tested microbial sensitivity to antibiotics by measuring turbidity of the cultures in fluid medium. The method offers an orientation in the choice of an elective antibiotic within at most 4 hours.
