Abstract

Mamica Pawel

In the realm of antimicrobial therapy, the concept of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) stands as a critical determinant of the effectiveness of antimicrobial agents. This article delves into the intricate world of MIC, exploring its definition, measurement techniques, clinical significance, and implications for antimicrobial stewardship. By unraveling the science behind MIC, we gain insights into how this fundamental parameter guides treatment decisions, shapes dosing regimens, and contributes to the ongoing battle against antimicrobial resistance.
