The resident on call looked at the disk diffusion assay data and concluded that sulfanilamide would be more useful than gentamicin in this case. Is this a valid conclusion?
A. Yes, because the bacteria were clearly much more sensitive to the sulfa drug
B. Yes, because the bacteria were clearly much more sensitive to gentamicin
C. No, because the zone of inhibition size is dependent on many variables
D. No, because the resident on call looked really sleepy
