    It is important to use a standard concentration of each of the bacterial strains in the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion test because lower or higher concentrations can influence the size of the zone of inhibition. For example, in case if the concentration is high, then a visible amount of growth can take place prior to the antibiotic been able to diffuse very far from the disc.
