Imipenem – 10 μg Antibiotic Disc – Bioanalyse

Imipenem – 10 μg Antibiotic Disc – Bioanalyse Overview

The Imipenem – 10 μg Antibiotic Disc – Bioanalyse is a critical diagnostic tool for clinical laboratories, essential for performing antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). This precisely manufactured paper disc, impregnated with 10 micrograms of Imipenem, a potent carbapenem antibiotic, enables healthcare professionals to accurately determine bacterial susceptibility to this broad-spectrum agent. By utilizing the widely adopted disc diffusion method, this product plays a vital role in guiding effective treatment strategies for a range of serious bacterial infections, ensuring optimal patient care and antimicrobial stewardship.

Imipenem – 10 μg Antibiotic Disc – Bioanalyse Key Features

• Standardized Imipenem Concentration: Each disc contains a precise 10 µg of Imipenem, ensuring consistent and reliable test results.
• High-Quality Impregnation: Advanced manufacturing processes guarantee uniform distribution of the antibiotic for accurate zone of inhibition measurements.
• Easy-to-Use Disc Diffusion Method: Designed for straightforward application in standard laboratory protocols, making it accessible for routine testing.
• Broad-Spectrum Utility: Imipenem’s effectiveness against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria makes these discs valuable for diverse clinical scenarios.
• Supports Diagnosis of Serious Infections: Aids in identifying susceptibility for infections such as sepsis, meningitis, pneumonia, and intra-abdominal infections.
• Trusted Bioanalyse Quality: Manufactured by Bioanalyse, a reputable name synonymous with quality and reliability in diagnostic reagents.

Technical Specifications

• Format: Paper Disc

Understanding Results: Zone of Inhibition Interpretation

The interpretation of results from the disc diffusion test using the Imipenem – 10 μg Antibiotic Disc – Bioanalyse is based on the diameter of the zone of inhibition (the clear area around the disc where bacterial growth is inhibited):

• ≥ 20 mm: Indicates the bacteria are Susceptible to Imipenem.
• 16-19 mm: Indicates the bacteria are Intermediate in their susceptibility.
• < 16 mm: Indicates the bacteria are Resistant to Imipenem.

Important Note: While the disc diffusion method is a valuable and cost-effective screening tool, it is considered semi-quantitative. For definitive and more precise susceptibility data, methods like broth microdilution or agar dilution are recommended.
