Oxoid Moxifloxacin 5 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Oxoid™ Moxifloxacin 5 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Product Overview

Oxoid™ Moxifloxacin 5 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 Moxifloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic.

Moxifloxacin is highly effective against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as atypical pathogens like Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, and Legionella. Oxoid Moxifloxacin discs allow laboratories to classify bacterial isolates as susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, supporting accurate treatment of respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and systemic infections.

Key Features

• Standardized Antibiotic Potency: Each disc contains 5 µg of Moxifloxacin 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 with desiccant maintain disc stability and potency.

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

Applications

Oxoid Moxifloxacin 5 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, helping identify bacterial sensitivity and detect resistant strains.
