MAST Ketoconazole 10µg Antifungal Susceptibility Test Discs – 5 × 50 Discs

MAST Ketoconazole 10µg Antifungal Susceptibility Test Discs are antifungal-impregnated paper discs designed for specialist microbiological investigations involving the response of fungal isolates to Ketoconazole using appropriate agar disc diffusion methods. Each disc contains 10 micrograms of Ketoconazole, an imidazole-class antifungal agent that inhibits ergosterol biosynthesis by interfering with the fungal enzyme lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase. This disrupts fungal cell membrane formation and function. Ketoconazole exhibits antifungal activity against various susceptible fungal organisms, including selected Candida species and dermatophytes. Manufactured by MAST Group, these discs provide standardized antifungal content in convenient cartridge packaging for microbiology research laboratories, academic institutions and other facilities conducting specialized fungal investigations.
