MAST Cefoxitin 30 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs – 250 Discs

MAST Cefoxitin 30 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs are high-quality diagnostic laboratory discs designed to determine bacterial susceptibility to cefoxitin using the standard agar disc diffusion method. Each disc contains 30 micrograms of cefoxitin, a second-generation cephamycin antibiotic belonging to the beta-lactam group. Cefoxitin inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis and is widely used in clinical microbiology laboratories for antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Cefoxitin 30 µg discs are also commonly used as a screening method for detecting methicillin resistance in applicable Staphylococcus species, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), when interpreted according to validated laboratory guidelines. Manufactured by MAST Group under the MASTDISCS range, these discs deliver consistent antibiotic concentrations and reproducible inhibition zone measurements. Each pack contains five cartridges of 50 discs, providing a total of 250 discs for routine microbiology testing in hospital laboratories, diagnostic centres and research institutions.
