Oxoid Linezolid 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Oxoid™ Linezolid 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Manufacturer: Thermo Fisher Scientific

Product Overview

Oxoid™ Linezolid 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 evaluate bacterial susceptibility to Linezolid, an oxazolidinone-class antibiotic.

Linezolid is highly effective against Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE), and Streptococcus species. Oxoid Linezolid discs allow laboratories to classify bacterial isolates as susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, supporting accurate treatment decisions for serious Gram-positive infections.

Key Features

• Standardized Antibiotic Potency: Each disc contains 30 µg of Linezolid for accurate 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 maintain disc stability and potency.

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

Applications

Oxoid Linezolid 30 µg discs are commonly 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 Gram-positive strains.
