MAST Fosfomycin-Glucose-6-Phosphate 200 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs – 250 Discs

MAST Fosfomycin/Glucose-6-Phosphate 200/50 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs are professional diagnostic laboratory discs designed to determine the susceptibility of bacterial isolates to fosfomycin using the standard agar disc diffusion method. Each disc contains 200 micrograms of fosfomycin and 50 micrograms of glucose-6-phosphate. Fosfomycin is a phosphonic acid derivative antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by targeting the MurA enzyme, an essential component of peptidoglycan biosynthesis. Glucose-6-phosphate is included to facilitate bacterial uptake of fosfomycin and support standardised antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Manufactured by MAST Group under the MASTDISCS range, these discs support reliable and reproducible antimicrobial susceptibility testing when used with validated laboratory procedures. The discs are particularly useful for fosfomycin susceptibility assessment in appropriate bacterial isolates, including Escherichia coli, subject to current organism-specific interpretation guidelines. Each pack contains five cartridges of 50 discs, providing a total of 250 discs for hospital laboratories, clinical microbiology laboratories, diagnostic centres and research institutions.
