MAST Ceftobiprole 5 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs – 250 Discs

MAST Ceftobiprole 5 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs are laboratory diagnostic discs designed to determine the susceptibility of bacterial isolates to ceftobiprole using the agar disc diffusion method. Each disc contains 5 micrograms of ceftobiprole, an advanced-generation cephalosporin antibiotic belonging to the beta-lactam group. Ceftobiprole inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins and demonstrates activity against selected Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Manufactured by MAST Group under the MASTDISCS range, these antibiotic susceptibility discs provide standardised antibiotic potency and support reproducible inhibition zone measurements during antimicrobial susceptibility testing. The discs are supplied in five cartridges containing 50 discs each, providing a total of 250 discs for hospital laboratories, diagnostic centres, clinical microbiology laboratories and research institutions.
