In the following figure, the susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus was tested against three antibiotics using the Kirby-Bauer method. Results showed an 11 mm clear zone (devoid of any growth) around cefoxitin (FOX); 26 mm clear zone around doxycycline (D) and no clear zone around oxacillin (OX). Which of the following conclusions are most likely correct regarding the sensitivity of Staphylococcus aureus to antibiotics D and OX?

In an experiment, 1 mL of a bacterial sample was serially diluted with 9 mL of water. 1 mL of each dilution was plated on nutrient agar and incubated at an appropriate temperature to visualize colonies. Based on the following scheme of dilution, which answer best describes the bacterial concentration ( CFU/mL) in the original sample?
