Oxoid Doripenem 10 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Oxoid™ Doripenem 10 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Product Overview

Oxoid™ Doripenem 10 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 susceptibility to Doripenem, a carbapenem β-lactam antibiotic.

Doripenem is highly effective against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacterales, and Acinetobacter species. Oxoid Doripenem discs help laboratories determine whether bacterial isolates are susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, supporting precise clinical therapy for complicated infections such as urinary tract infections, intra-abdominal infections, and hospital-acquired pneumonia.

Key Features

• Standardized Antibiotic Potency: Each disc contains 10 µg of Doripenem for accurate and reproducible testing.

• 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 with desiccant maintain disc stability and potency.

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

Applications

Oxoid Doripenem 10 µg discs are 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 carbapenemase-producing pathogens.
