MAST Carbenicillin 100µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs – 5 × 50 Discs

MAST Carbenicillin 100µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Test Discs are antibiotic-impregnated paper discs designed for evaluating bacterial susceptibility to Carbenicillin using agar disc diffusion techniques. Each disc contains 100 micrograms of Carbenicillin, an extended-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic belonging to the carboxypenicillin group. Carbenicillin inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins, disrupting bacterial cell wall formation. These discs support microbiological susceptibility investigations involving selected Gram-negative bacterial pathogens, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and certain Enterobacterales, where validated testing procedures and appropriate interpretive criteria are available. Manufactured by MAST Group, the discs provide standardized antibiotic content for laboratory susceptibility investigations. They are suitable for microbiology research laboratories, veterinary laboratories and other authorized laboratories using validated testing methods. The current manufacturer variant is non-CE-marked; suitability for human clinical diagnostic use should be confirmed before marketing it for that purpose.
