MAST Erythromycin 15 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs – 250 Discs

MAST Erythromycin 15 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs are high-quality diagnostic laboratory discs designed to determine the susceptibility of bacterial isolates to erythromycin using the standard agar disc diffusion method. Each disc contains 15 micrograms of erythromycin, a macrolide antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit. Manufactured by MAST Group under the MASTDISCS range, these antibiotic-impregnated paper discs support reliable and reproducible antimicrobial susceptibility testing in clinical microbiology laboratories. The discs are used to evaluate erythromycin susceptibility in relevant bacterial isolates, including selected Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species. They can also be used alongside clindamycin discs to investigate inducible clindamycin resistance through D-zone testing. Each pack contains five cartridges of 50 discs, providing a total of 250 discs for hospital laboratories, diagnostic centres, clinical microbiology laboratories and research institutions.
