MAST Cefixime 5 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs – 250 Discs

MAST Cefixime 5 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs are diagnostic laboratory discs designed to determine the susceptibility of bacterial isolates to cefixime using the agar disc diffusion method. Each disc contains 5 micrograms of cefixime, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic belonging to the beta-lactam group. Cefixime inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, and the antibiotic-impregnated discs allow microbiology laboratories to assess bacterial susceptibility by measuring inhibition zones around the discs. Manufactured by MAST Group under the MASTDISCS range, these discs are designed for reliable and reproducible antimicrobial susceptibility testing in clinical microbiology laboratories. Each pack contains five cartridges of 50 discs, providing a total of 250 discs for laboratory testing in hospitals, diagnostic centres, microbiology laboratories and research institutions.
