摘要: Aims: This study was undertaken to compare the quality and efficacy of six brands antibacterial discs that are commercially available in Nigeria. Methodology: The evaluated include two foreign (Oxoid Abtek) four local (Optudisc, Polydisc, Maxidisc Jirehdisk). were analyzed by antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) using laboratory isolates Staphylococcus
