MAST Flucytosine 1µg Antifungal Susceptibility Test Discs – 5 × 50 Discs

MAST Flucytosine 1µg Antifungal Susceptibility Test Discs are antifungal-impregnated paper discs designed for specialist microbiological investigations involving fungal response to Flucytosine using appropriate agar disc diffusion methods. Each disc contains 1 microgram of Flucytosine, also known as 5-Fluorocytosine, a fluorinated pyrimidine antifungal agent. Inside susceptible fungal cells, Flucytosine is converted into active metabolites that interfere with fungal RNA and DNA synthesis, inhibiting fungal growth. Flucytosine is particularly relevant to antifungal investigations involving selected yeast pathogens, including Candida and Cryptococcus species. Manufactured by MAST Group, the discs provide standardized antifungal content in convenient dispensing cartridges for specialist microbiology laboratories, academic institutions, research laboratories and authorized fungal testing facilities.
