Abstract
A method detects the presence or absence of at least one first inhibition zone having a culture of biological particles on a culture medium in the presence of a chemical agent. The method of detection has a first step of seeding the culture medium with the biological particles, a second step in which the culture medium receives the chemical agent, a third step of incubation of the culture medium, and a fourth step of measurement of the first inhibition zone of the culture medium, which includes a first phase of taking an image of the first inhibition zone by ombroscopy.
