MAST Levofloxacin 5 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs – 250 Discs

MAST Levofloxacin 5 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs are high-quality diagnostic laboratory discs designed to determine the susceptibility of bacterial isolates to levofloxacin using the standard agar disc diffusion method. Each disc contains 5 micrograms of levofloxacin, a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, preventing bacterial DNA replication and multiplication. Manufactured by MAST Group under the MASTDISCS range, these antibiotic-impregnated paper discs deliver standardised antibiotic concentrations and support consistent, reproducible antimicrobial susceptibility testing. When placed on appropriately inoculated agar, levofloxacin diffuses into the surrounding medium, producing a measurable zone of bacterial growth inhibition where the antibiotic inhibits the tested organism. The discs support susceptibility investigations involving relevant Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including selected Enterobacterales, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species, where validated interpretation criteria are available. Each pack contains five cartridges of 50 discs, providing 250 discs for hospital laboratories, medical diagnostic centres, clinical microbiology laboratories and research institutions.
