Antibiotic activity in the presence of agar.

Applied Microbiology
F J HanusE O Bennett

Abstract

Agar has been shown to interfere with the activity of some antibiotics against Staphylococcus aureus. This interference has been observed as an increase in the minimal inhibitory concentration and in the diameter of the zone of inhibition. Purifying the agar with water extractions substantially reduced this adverse effect.
