Oxoid Clindamycin 2 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Oxoid™ Clindamycin 2 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Product Overview

Oxoid™ Clindamycin 2 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 determine bacterial sensitivity to Clindamycin, a lincosamide antibiotic.

Clindamycin is effective against a range of Gram-positive bacteria and certain anaerobic organisms. It is commonly used to treat skin and soft tissue infections, respiratory infections, and bone/joint infections. Oxoid Clindamycin discs enable laboratories to classify bacterial isolates as susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, supporting appropriate antimicrobial therapy.

Key Features

• Standardized Antibiotic Potency: Each disc contains 2 µg of Clindamycin 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 controlled dispensing.

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

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

Applications

Oxoid Clindamycin 2 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 measure zones of inhibition, identifying bacterial sensitivity and detecting resistant strains, including screening for inducible Clindamycin resistance in staphylococci.
