Oxoid Mezlocillin (MEZ) 75 µg Discs

Oxoid Mezlocillin (MEZ) 75 µg Discs – Reliable Gram-Negative Susceptibility Testing

Oxoid Mezlocillin (MEZ) 75 µg Discs are high-quality antibiotic susceptibility test discs designed for in vitro testing of Gram-negative bacterial isolates, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacteriaceae, and other clinically significant pathogens. These discs are essential for clinical microbiology laboratories, research labs, and diagnostic facilities for accurate antimicrobial profiling.

What Are Oxoid Mezlocillin (MEZ) 75 µg Discs?

Oxoid MEZ discs are filter-paper discs impregnated with 75 µg of mezlocillin, a broad-spectrum β-lactam antibiotic from the ureidopenicillin class. During disc diffusion (Kirby-Bauer) tests, the discs release the antibiotic into the agar medium, producing zones of inhibition that reveal bacterial susceptibility. This helps microbiologists identify resistant and sensitive strains and supports effective treatment decisions.
