Oxoid Erythromycin 15 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Oxoid™ Erythromycin 15 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Product Overview

Oxoid™ Erythromycin 15 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 evaluate bacterial susceptibility to Erythromycin, a macrolide antibiotic.

Erythromycin is effective against a variety of Gram-positive bacteria and some atypical pathogens, such as Mycoplasma and Chlamydia. Oxoid Erythromycin discs help laboratories classify bacterial isolates as susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, supporting accurate clinical treatment for infections like respiratory tract infections, skin infections, and streptococcal infections.

Key Features

• Standardized Antibiotic Potency: Each disc contains 15 µg of Erythromycin for consistent 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 with desiccant preserve disc stability and potency.

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

Applications

Oxoid Erythromycin 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 identify bacterial sensitivity and detect resistant strains.
