This invention provides a test kit which determines the susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics within a short period of time, typically four to six hours. The kit utilizes a medium containing a color indicator that shows bacterial growth in a short period of time. In the kit, the metabolic activity of bacteria at a certain concentration of an antibiotic is determined by the change of the color of the medium. In this way, the susceptibility of the bacteria to this antibiotic is determined quickly without requiring instrumentation.
