摘要

The invention relates to the field of microbiology. A device for determining the sensitivity of microorganisms to antimicrobial drugs is configured in the form of a sterile plate made from a plastic material with indentations and is provided with a hermetically sealing element which covers the sterile plate. The indentations are filled with a solid culture medium containing agar. In different indentations, the culture medium contains antimicrobial drugs or combinations thereof or serves as a control. Between the plate and the hermetically sealing element, the device contains a moisture-absorbing material with a rigid mesh situated therebelow.
