MAST Cefotaxime 5 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs – 250 Discs

MAST Cefotaxime 5 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs are diagnostic laboratory discs designed to determine the susceptibility of bacterial isolates to cefotaxime using the agar disc diffusion method. Each disc contains 5 micrograms of cefotaxime, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic belonging to the beta-lactam group. Cefotaxime inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, and the discs enable microbiology laboratories to evaluate bacterial susceptibility by measuring zones of growth inhibition around antibiotic-impregnated discs. Manufactured by MAST Group under the MASTDISCS range, these discs support 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 hospital laboratories, diagnostic centres, research institutions and microbiology laboratories.
