  1. In case of organisms showing swarming motility, ignore the veil of the organisms that might swarm into the zone of inhibition. In case there is no zone of inhibition around the disk, consider the zone of inhibition zero.

  2. Jan 1, 2020 · This coordinated form of motility is called swarming behavior. Swarming is associated with enhanced virulence and antibiotic resistance of various human pathogens and may be considered as favorable adaptation to the diverse challenges that microbes face in rapidly changing environments.

    Zone of inhibition (ZOI), also known as a zone of clearing or a halo assay, refers to the clear zone surrounding an antimicrobial agent. These ZOIs result from a complete absence of bacteria on, or within a confluent bacterial lawn ( red arrow, figure 1a).

  6. Jun 20, 2024 · The “zone of inhibition” refers to the region around each antibiotic disc where the antibiotic inhibits bacterial growth. The concentration decreases as the antibiotic diffuses further from the...
