摘要: A study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of commercially available antimicrobial discs manufactured by Oxoid, UK, HiMedia Laboratories, Mumbai and Span Diagnostics, Surat. The were evaluated for their performance on basis percentage coefficient variation (%CV) which is a measure reproducibility, mean zone diameters accuracy range diameter using both standard ATCC strains clinical isolates. data showed all three manufacturers therefore routine regular quality control as well meticulous following good laboratory practices strongly advocated in laboratories.
