Question

Small colonies are observed at the inner edge of the zone of inhibition around the oxacillin disk when a S. aureus is tested. The outer zone size corresponds to an interpretation of susceptible andthe small colonies are growing in the resistant range. How will you interpret the results, S (sensitive), I (intermediate), or R (resistant)? Explain your answer.
