How is the Kirby-Bauer Test Adapted for Cancer Research?
For cancer research, the Kirby-Bauer test is modified to work with cancer cell lines rather than bacteria. These cell lines are cultured on agar plates. Disks impregnated with chemotherapeutic agents are then placed on the agar surface. The plates are incubated, typically under conditions that mimic the human body, to allow for cell growth and drug interaction.
