MAST Ceftazidime-Avibactam 10-4 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs – 250 Discs

MAST Ceftazidime/Avibactam 10/4 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs are diagnostic laboratory discs designed to determine the susceptibility of bacterial isolates to the combination of ceftazidime and avibactam using the agar disc diffusion method. Each disc contains 10 micrograms of ceftazidime and 4 micrograms of avibactam. Ceftazidime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, while avibactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects ceftazidime against degradation by certain bacterial enzymes. Manufactured by MAST Group under the MASTDISCS range, these discs support antimicrobial susceptibility testing of relevant Gram-negative bacterial isolates, including certain multidrug-resistant organisms. The discs are designed for consistent antibiotic potency and reproducible inhibition zone measurements when used with validated laboratory procedures. Each pack contains five cartridges of 50 discs, providing a total of 250 discs for microbiology laboratories, hospital laboratories, diagnostic centres and research institutions.
