Oxoid Cefiderocol 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Oxoid™ Cefiderocol 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Product Overview

Oxoid™ Cefiderocol 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs are specifically designed for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) in clinical, hospital, and research microbiology laboratories. These discs are used in the disc diffusion method to determine bacterial susceptibility to Cefiderocol, a novel siderophore cephalosporin antibiotic.

Cefiderocol is effective against a broad spectrum of Gram-negative bacteria, including multidrug-resistant strains such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Enterobacterales. These discs allow laboratories to accurately classify bacterial isolates as susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, supporting effective clinical therapy decisions.

Key Features

• Standardized Antibiotic Potency: Each disc contains 30 µg of Cefiderocol for accurate and reproducible testing.

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

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

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

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

Applications

Oxoid Cefiderocol 30 µg discs are widely used for in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Gram-negative bacterial isolates in:

• Clinical microbiology laboratories

• Hospital diagnostic laboratories

• Pharmaceutical and research laboratories

• Public health and epidemiology laboratories

The disc diffusion method allows microbiologists to observe zones of inhibition around the disc, helping identify bacterial susceptibility and resistant strains.
