This article provides a comprehensive overview of assays designed to characterize antimicrobial activity, elucidating their underlying principles, protocols, advantages, and limitations. One of the most difficult concepts to understand is the spectrum of activity of different antimicrobials This review aimed to highlight of the methodologies available nowadays to determine antifungal and antimicrobial activity

Zoi testing is important as it gives a brief visual expression of the antibacterial strength and spectrum of an agent of interest against a particular bacterial strain.
Current laboratory techniques to evaluate antibacterial activity are usually labor intensive, low throughput, costly, and time consuming
Typical assays rely on the outgrowth of colonies of prey cells on selective solid media after competition. We develop antimicrobial testing methods and standard operating procedures to measure the effectiveness of hard surface disinfectants against a variety of microorganisms. In this review, we focused on the use of antimicrobial testing methods for the in vitro investigation of extracts and pure drugs as potential antimicrobial agents. Activity against common bacterial pathogens is shown in table 12.1 (p
