Which is a better antibiotic to take as a control? Ciprofloxacin or Gentamicin in plant extract antimicrobial sensitivity testing against E.coli?
Hi Sony
If you have access to both test them against E coli then decide which one you should use; if you do not have both then test what you have and make as a control.
Hope this helps
Hello Sony
You can use Ciprofloxacin as it is a broad spectrum antibiotic which is active against both gram negative and gram positive bacteria.
If you are using E. coli susceptible strain (ATCC25922), It's better to use amoxicilin. If not, may ciprofloxacin wich are more active than genta
