Oxoid Clarithromycin 15 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Oxoid™ Clarithromycin 15 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Product Overview

Oxoid™ Clarithromycin 15 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 evaluate bacterial sensitivity to Clarithromycin, a macrolide antibiotic.

Clarithromycin is effective against a broad range of Gram-positive and some Gram-negative bacteria, as well as atypical pathogens like Mycoplasma and Chlamydia. Oxoid Clarithromycin discs allow laboratories to classify bacterial isolates as susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, supporting accurate clinical treatment decisions, particularly for respiratory tract infections and Helicobacter pylori-associated conditions.

Key Features

• Standardized Antibiotic Potency: Each disc contains 15 µg of Clarithromycin for reliable 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-Protected Packaging: Individually sealed cartridges include desiccant to maintain disc stability and potency.

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

Applications

Oxoid Clarithromycin 15 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 to identify bacterial sensitivity and detect resistant strains.
