The method for performing regression analysis is described in detail. MIC values and zone sizes are determined on agar throughout. Applying these techniques, good correlation between MIC's and zone sizes (r = greater than -0.9) were found with 82% of 59 regressions (33 different antibiotics). Comparable results were found with DST- and Mueller-Hinton agar. In some cases a linear regression for MIC and zone size values could be demonstrated, independent from the correlation coefficient. Some theoretical aspects of regression analysis are discussed.
详细描述了进行回归分析的方法。全程在琼脂上测定MIC值和抑菌圈大小。应用这些技术，在59次回归分析（33种不同抗生素）中的82%发现MIC值与抑菌圈大小之间具有良好的相关性（r大于 -0.9）。在DST琼脂和穆勒-欣顿琼脂上也得到了类似的结果。在某些情况下，可以证明MIC值和抑菌圈大小值之间存在线性回归，与相关系数无关。讨论了回归分析的一些理论方面。
