MAST Novobiocin 5µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs – 5 × 50 Discs

MAST Novobiocin 5µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Test Discs are high-quality antibiotic-impregnated paper discs designed for microbiological identification and the assessment of bacterial susceptibility to Novobiocin using agar disc diffusion techniques. Each disc contains 5 micrograms of Novobiocin, an aminocoumarin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase, interfering with bacterial DNA replication. Novobiocin discs are particularly useful in clinical microbiology for differentiating selected coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species, including the identification of Novobiocin-resistant Staphylococcus saprophyticus and Novobiocin-susceptible Staphylococcus epidermidis, when used with validated identification procedures. Manufactured by MAST Group, these discs provide consistent performance in routine microbiology investigations and are suitable for hospital laboratories, diagnostic centres, clinical laboratories, research institutions and healthcare facilities conducting bacterial identification and susceptibility testing.
