MAST Gentamicin 10 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs – 250 Discs

MAST Gentamicin 10 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs are high-quality diagnostic laboratory discs designed to determine the susceptibility of bacterial isolates to gentamicin using the standard agar disc diffusion method. Each disc contains 10 micrograms of gentamicin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit. Manufactured by MAST Group under the MASTDISCS range, these antibiotic-impregnated paper discs provide consistent antibiotic potency and support reliable, reproducible antimicrobial susceptibility testing. When placed on appropriately inoculated agar, gentamicin diffuses into the surrounding medium and produces a measurable inhibition zone when bacterial growth is inhibited. Results are interpreted using validated testing procedures and applicable susceptibility breakpoints. The product is suitable for susceptibility testing of relevant Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial isolates, including certain Enterobacterales, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus species. 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.
