MAST Meropenem 10 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs – 250 Discs

MAST Meropenem 10 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs are high-quality diagnostic laboratory discs designed to determine the susceptibility of bacterial isolates to meropenem using the standard agar disc diffusion method. Each disc contains 10 micrograms of meropenem, a broad-spectrum carbapenem antibiotic belonging to the beta-lactam group. Meropenem inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins, thereby disrupting bacterial growth. Manufactured by MAST Group under the MASTDISCS range, these antibiotic-impregnated paper discs provide standardised antibiotic concentrations and support consistent, reproducible inhibition zone measurements during antimicrobial susceptibility testing. The discs are suitable for susceptibility investigations involving relevant Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial isolates, including selected Enterobacterales, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter species, where validated testing 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.
