MAST Mecillinam 10 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs – 250 Discs

MAST Mecillinam 10 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs are high-quality diagnostic laboratory discs designed to determine the susceptibility of bacterial isolates to mecillinam using the standard agar disc diffusion method. Each disc contains 10 micrograms of mecillinam, an amidinopenicillin antibiotic belonging to the beta-lactam group. Mecillinam inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding primarily to penicillin-binding protein 2 (PBP2). Manufactured by MAST Group under the MASTDISCS range, these antibiotic-impregnated paper discs support consistent and reproducible antimicrobial susceptibility testing when used with validated laboratory procedures. The discs are particularly relevant for evaluating mecillinam susceptibility in appropriate Enterobacterales isolates, including Escherichia coli, where organism-specific testing criteria are available. Each pack contains five cartridges of 50 discs, providing a total of 250 discs for hospital laboratories, medical diagnostic centres, clinical microbiology laboratories and research institutions.
