i have recently done a disk diffusion assay where by i measure the zone of inhibition of 5 antibiotics on 7 different pathogens, i want to establish if there is any significant difference between the zones of inhibition acquired by each antibiotics to the pathogens overall. as it is a large data set i am confused as to what the appropriate statistical test would be, i have attached the excel file of my data and also my prism file. Any advice welcome , thank you!
Dear Katie Lee , you can go for Chi square (χ 2 ) test to analyze your results.
Good Luck!
I am just curious of why you need to statistically analyze the values you got instead of categorizing them as resistant or susceptible? and then maybe calculating the percentages for each pathogen and so.
i think it is not necessary to apply statistic on such data, it will better to check the antimicrobial susceptibility assay or check the MIC.
