MAST Cefiderocol 30 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs – 250 Discs

MAST Cefiderocol 30 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs are professional in vitro diagnostic laboratory discs designed to determine the susceptibility of bacterial isolates to cefiderocol using the agar disc diffusion method. Each disc contains 30 micrograms of cefiderocol, a siderophore cephalosporin antibiotic developed to target susceptible aerobic Gram-negative bacteria, including certain multidrug-resistant organisms. Cefiderocol uses bacterial iron-transport mechanisms to facilitate entry into the bacterial cell, where it inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins. Manufactured by MAST Group under the MASTDISCS range, these antibiotic susceptibility discs support consistent, reproducible antimicrobial susceptibility testing and assist clinical laboratories in assessing bacterial responses to cefiderocol. Each pack contains five cartridges of 50 discs, providing 250 discs for hospital microbiology laboratories, specialist diagnostic centres, infectious disease laboratories and research institutions.
