===== MINIMUM_QUANTO_LABORATORIUM ===== === Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), VERSION OF THE GLOSSARIUM === Lowest antimicrobial drug concentration required to inhibit bacterial growth after an overnight in vitro incubation MIC is used to confirm or monitor bacterial resistance. Resistance is observed when the MIC is higher than the defined breakpoint of resistance associated with each bacterial isolate.[[https://cdpq02.ca/DOMglossarium/docs/glossary2005ciparsreport.pdf | CIPARS (2005)]]
