Oxoid Cefepime 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Oxoid™ Cefepime 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Product Overview

Oxoid™ Cefepime 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs are developed for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) in clinical, hospital, and research microbiology laboratories. These discs are used in the disc diffusion method to assess bacterial sensitivity to Cefepime, a fourth-generation cephalosporin antibiotic.

Cefepime is active against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including many resistant strains, making it an important tool for the treatment of severe infections. Oxoid Cefepime discs allow laboratories to classify bacterial isolates as susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, supporting effective clinical decision-making.

Key Features

• Accurate Antibiotic Potency: Each disc contains 30 µg of Cefepime for reliable and reproducible testing.

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

• Convenient Cartridge Format: Supplied in spring-loaded cartridges for safe and easy handling.

• Moisture-Controlled Packaging: Individually sealed cartridges include desiccant to maintain disc stability and potency.

• High-Quality Manufacturing: Produced by Thermo Fisher Scientific under strict quality standards.

Applications

Oxoid Cefepime 30 µg discs are widely used for in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing of bacterial isolates in:

• Clinical microbiology laboratories

• Hospital diagnostic laboratories

• Pharmaceutical and research laboratories

• Public health and epidemiological laboratories

The disc diffusion method enables microbiologists to observe the zone of inhibition, determining bacterial susceptibility and detecting resistant strains.
