MAST Amphotericin B 20µg Antifungal Susceptibility Test Discs – 5 × 50 Discs

MAST Amphotericin B 20µg Antifungal Susceptibility Test Discs are antifungal-impregnated paper discs designed for microbiological investigations involving the susceptibility of selected fungal isolates to Amphotericin B using appropriate agar disc diffusion techniques. Each disc contains 20 micrograms of Amphotericin B, a polyene antifungal agent that binds to ergosterol in fungal cell membranes, increasing membrane permeability and disrupting essential cellular functions. Amphotericin B is active against a range of susceptible fungal organisms, including selected Candida, Cryptococcus and mould species. However, the suitability of disc diffusion and the availability of interpretive criteria vary by organism. Manufactured by MAST Group, these discs provide standardized antifungal content in convenient cartridge packaging for specialist microbiology laboratories, medical research institutions and other facilities performing validated antifungal investigations.
