A) when a well on the tray is skipped with inoculum and it does not grow.
B) when the inoculator is turned around and the sterility well is accidentally inoculated and the growth well is accidentally skipped.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A skipped well in MIC microdilution trays refers to an anomaly where there is unexpected growth at higher antimicrobial concentrations, but no growth at one or more of the lower concentrations, which is not typical for a standard dose-response curve. This could indicate a technical error or an unusual microbial growth pattern.
