Oxoid Ceftazidime 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Oxoid™ Ceftazidime 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Product Overview

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

Ceftazidime is particularly effective against Gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other multidrug-resistant strains. Oxoid Ceftazidime discs enable laboratories to classify bacterial isolates as susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, supporting accurate clinical treatment decisions and antimicrobial stewardship programs.

Key Features

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

• Designed 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 dispensing.

• Moisture-Protected 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 Ceftazidime 30 µg discs are widely used for in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing 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, helping identify bacterial sensitivity and detect resistant strains.
