How Does the Kirby-Bauer Test Compare to In Vivo Models?
The Kirby-Bauer test is a simpler, quicker, and less expensive method compared to in vivo models. However, in vivo models, such as xenograft mouse models, provide a more realistic environment for studying cancer and drug efficacy, taking into account the complexities of whole-body interactions. Both methods are often used in tandem to validate results and gain a holistic understanding of drug performance.
