Oxoid Aztreonam 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Oxoid™ Aztreonam 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Product Overview

Oxoid™ Aztreonam 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs are designed for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) in clinical and research microbiology laboratories. These discs are used in the disc diffusion method to determine the susceptibility of bacterial isolates to the antibiotic aztreonam.

Aztreonam is a monobactam antibiotic primarily effective against Gram-negative bacteria. Using Oxoid antimicrobial susceptibility discs allows laboratories to evaluate bacterial isolates and classify them as susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, helping clinicians select appropriate antimicrobial treatments.

Key Features

• Standardized Antibiotic Potency: Each disc contains 30 µg of Aztreonam for accurate susceptibility testing.

• Designed for Disc Diffusion AST: Suitable for routine antimicrobial susceptibility testing in microbiology laboratories.

• Convenient Cartridge System: Supplied in spring-loaded cartridges for easy and safe dispensing.

• Moisture-Controlled Packaging: Individually sealed cartridges contain desiccant to maintain low moisture levels and disc stability.

• High Quality Manufacturing: Produced by Thermo Fisher Scientific following strict quality control standards.

Applications

Oxoid Aztreonam 30 µg discs are widely used for in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing of bacterial isolates. They are commonly used in:

• Clinical microbiology laboratories

• Hospital diagnostic laboratories

• Pharmaceutical and biotechnology research laboratories

• Public health and epidemiological laboratories

During the disc diffusion test, microbiologists observe the zone of inhibition around the antibiotic disc to determine the sensitivity of microorganisms and identify potential antibiotic resistance.
