not resistant to an antimicrobial agent tolerance to an antimicrobial agent phenotype 2020-05-08T13:13:10Z An antimicrobial agent resistance phenotype that describes the ability of microorganisms to survive a transient exposure to antimicrobial agents at concentrations that would otherwise be lethal. A quantitative measure of tolerance is the minimum duration for killing (MDK). OMP:0007971 This is a high-level term whose primary purpose is to organize terms beneath it in the ontology, and we expect that it will not be used for direct annotations. Please consider using a more specific term to annotate each phenotype. Tolerance applies only to microbiocidal antimicrobial agents and not to microbiostatic agents. This is in contrast to resistance which applies to both microbiocidal and microbiostatic agents. microbial_phenotype siegele
