Oxoid Tigecycline 15 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Oxoid™ Tigecycline 15 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Product Overview

Oxoid™ Tigecycline 15 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 Tigecycline, a glycylcycline-class antibiotic derived from tetracycline.

Tigecycline has broad-spectrum activity against a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including many multidrug-resistant organisms such as MRSA, VRE, and certain resistant Enterobacterales. Oxoid Tigecycline discs enable laboratories to determine whether bacterial isolates are susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, supporting appropriate treatment for complicated skin and soft tissue infections, intra-abdominal infections, and other serious bacterial infections.

Key Features

• Standardized Antibiotic Potency: Each disc contains 15 µg of Tigecycline for accurate and reproducible susceptibility testing.

• Disc Diffusion Testing: Suitable for routine antimicrobial susceptibility testing in microbiology laboratories.

• Convenient Cartridge System: Supplied in spring-loaded cartridges for easy and controlled dispensing.

• Moisture-Protected Packaging: Individually sealed cartridges with desiccant maintain disc stability and antibiotic activity.

• High Manufacturing Standards: Produced by Thermo Fisher Scientific under strict quality control procedures.

Applications

Oxoid Tigecycline 15 µg discs are widely used for in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing in:

• Clinical microbiology laboratories

• Hospital diagnostic laboratories

• Pharmaceutical laboratories

• Academic and research institutions

• Public health laboratories

The disc diffusion method measures the zone of inhibition, allowing microbiologists to assess bacterial sensitivity to Tigecycline.
