MAST Fusidic Acid 10 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs – 250 Discs

MAST Fusidic Acid 10 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs are high-quality diagnostic laboratory discs designed to determine the susceptibility of bacterial isolates to fusidic acid using the standard agar disc diffusion method. Each disc contains 10 micrograms of fusidic acid, a steroidal antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by interfering with elongation factor G (EF-G). Fusidic acid is particularly active against susceptible Gram-positive bacteria, including certain Staphylococcus aureus isolates. Manufactured by MAST Group under the MASTDISCS range, these antibiotic-impregnated discs are designed to provide consistent antibiotic concentrations and reproducible inhibition zone measurements during antimicrobial susceptibility testing. The discs support routine susceptibility testing in clinical microbiology laboratories, hospital laboratories, diagnostic centres and research institutions. Each pack contains five cartridges of 50 discs, providing a total of 250 discs for professional laboratory testing.
