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

MAST Pefloxacin 5µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Test Discs are antibiotic-impregnated paper discs designed for evaluating bacterial susceptibility to Pefloxacin using standardized agar disc diffusion methods. Each disc contains 5 micrograms of Pefloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, interfering with bacterial DNA replication. Pefloxacin 5µg discs are particularly useful as a screening tool for detecting fluoroquinolone resistance in Salmonella species, including Salmonella Typhi and Salmonella Paratyphi, where validated susceptibility testing guidelines apply. Manufactured by MAST Group, these discs support consistent and reproducible microbiological investigations in hospital laboratories, diagnostic centres, clinical microbiology laboratories and research institutions. Key Features - 5µg Antibiotic Concentration: Each disc contains 5 micrograms of Pefloxacin. - Fluoroquinolone Resistance Screening: Useful for detecting fluoroquinolone resistance in appropriate Salmonella isolates. - Standardized Disc Diffusion: Designed for laboratory antimicrobial susceptibility testing procedures. - Consistent Antibiotic Diffusion: Manufactured for reproducible laboratory performance. - High-Quality Paper Discs: Impregnated with a standardized quantity of Pefloxacin. - Convenient Packaging: Five cartridges containing 50 discs each. - Laboratory Compatibility: Suitable for compatible antibiotic disc dispensers. - Professional Laboratory Application: Designed for clinical microbiology and diagnostic laboratories. - Refrigerated Storage: Recommended storage temperature of 2–8°C.
