Antibiotic Susceptibility Tests are conducted in microbiological laboratories to study the effect of an antibiotic on the growth of a microbe. The most common method to study antibiotic susceptibility includes the Kirby-Bauer Method. In this method, small discs saturated with antibiotic is placed on the plate containing the bacteria. A zone of inhibition of growth around the disc is observed to study the susceptibility of the microbe to the antibiotic. Nystatin-NS- 100 Units is a product by Micromaster. This drug is an antifungal antibiotic. It is used for the treatment of diaper rashes, esophageal candidiasis and other forms of candida infections. The drug can be administered orally, or applied topically as an ointment. Nystatin is obtained naturally from the bacteria Streptococcus noursei. Post the production, the macrolide is subjected to several enzymatic modifications to obtain the usable form of the drug. The drug exerts its antifungal activity by binding to ergosterol. This compound is an essential part of the fungal cell membrane. Nystatin causes formation of pores on the cell membrane of the fungus and causes efflux of potassium ions. This leads to cell-wide acidification in the fungus, and ultimate cell death.
