Microbiology Techniques: Using antibiotic discs

Vicki Symington (Microbiology Society) and John Schollar (National Centre for Biotechnology Education, Reading) demonstrate how to use antibiotic discs. This technique is used to test if antibiotics have an inhibitory effect on the growth of micro-organisms.
The Microbiology Society is a membership charity for scientists interested in microbes, their effects and their practical uses. It is one of the largest microbiology societies in Europe with a worldwide membership based in universities, industry, hospitals, research institutes and schools.
Our principal goal is to develop, expand and strengthen the networks available to our members so that they can generate new knowledge about microbes and ensure that it is shared with other communities. The impacts from this will drive us towards a world in which the science of microbiology provides maximum benefit to society.

Hi, great video. Can I ask why you aren't wearing gloves? Is it due to being near the flame?
