You are preforming an assay in the lab where you want to determine the antibiotic sensitivity for a bacterium. You have three cultures of this bacterium that you can choose from to perform the antibiotic sensitivity assay. Culture 1 is a freshly inoculated broth; culture 2 is a culture that has been growing for 6 weeks; culture 3 has been growing for 12 hours and is slightly turbid. Use your knowledge of the bacterial growth curve to determine which culture you should use in your assay and explain why this one was chosen.
