    Glossary Minimum Inhibitory Concentration

    lowest concentration of an antimicrobial that stops microorganism growth

    Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) is the lowest concentration of an antimicrobial agent, such as an antibiotic, that prevents visible growth of a microorganism in a lab setting. This measurement helps determine the effectiveness of a drug against a specific pathogen and guides appropriate dosage for treating infections.
