Ceftazidime – 30 μg Antibiotic Disc – Bioanalyse

Ceftazidime – 30 μg Antibiotic Disc – Bioanalyse Overview

The Ceftazidime – 30 μg Antibiotic Disc – Bioanalyse is a crucial diagnostic tool for microbiology laboratories, specifically designed for the antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of bacterial pathogens. Each disc is precisely impregnated with 30 micrograms of Ceftazidime, a potent third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. This product facilitates the widely-used and cost-effective disc diffusion method, enabling healthcare professionals to accurately determine the susceptibility of bacterial isolates to Ceftazidime. By measuring the zone of inhibition around the disc, clinicians can identify effective antibiotic treatments, thereby guiding therapy for a broad spectrum of bacterial infections and contributing to improved patient outcomes and antimicrobial stewardship.

Ceftazidime – 30 μg Antibiotic Disc – Bioanalyse Key Features

• Standardized Potency: Each disc contains a precise 30 μg concentration of Ceftazidime, ensuring consistent and reliable test results.
• Ease of Use: Designed for straightforward application in the disc diffusion method, making it suitable for routine laboratory workflows.
• Cost-Effective Diagnostics: The disc diffusion method offers an economical approach to AST, providing valuable clinical information without significant investment.
• Accurate Susceptibility Determination: Facilitates the measurement of zones of inhibition, a key indicator of bacterial susceptibility or resistance to Ceftazidime.
