MAST Colistin Sulphate 10µg Antibiotic Test Discs – 5 × 50 Discs

MAST Colistin Sulphate 10µg Antibiotic Test Discs are antibiotic-impregnated paper discs manufactured for specialist microbiological and laboratory research applications involving Colistin Sulphate. Each disc contains 10 micrograms of Colistin Sulphate, a polymyxin-class antibacterial agent that disrupts the outer cell membrane of susceptible Gram-negative bacteria. Colistin is of particular research interest in investigations involving multidrug-resistant Gram-negative organisms, including Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and selected Enterobacterales. Manufactured by MAST Group, these discs provide a defined antibiotic content in convenient dispensing cartridges for suitable, validated specialist laboratory procedures. Important: Conventional colistin disc diffusion is not a reliable method for clinical antimicrobial susceptibility testing. These discs must not be marketed as suitable for determining clinical colistin susceptibility or resistance.
