While obtaining the data, we needed to calculate the zone of inhibition. Using the formula found in the article below
The link above contains the research article in which the formula for how effective the antibiotic is in the real world. This formula is a direct statistic calculation involving the zone of inhibition, to determine the numerical value for how effective the antibiotic is.
