The MIC is the lowest concentration of the antimicrobial that results in the inhibition of growth of a microorganism. MICs are generally performed by placing a known inoculum of bacteria into media containing a range of doubling concentrations of the antimicrobial (ie, 0.5 μg/mL, 1 μg/mL, 2 μg/mL, 4 μg/mL, etc.). The MIC in this figure is 4 μg/mL.
