MAST Penicillin G 1 Unit Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs – 5 × 50 Discs

MAST Penicillin G 1 Unit Antibiotic Susceptibility Test Discs are high-quality antibiotic-impregnated paper discs designed for determining bacterial susceptibility to Penicillin G using standardized agar disc diffusion methods. Each disc contains 1 International Unit (IU) of Penicillin G, also known as Benzylpenicillin, a beta-lactam antibiotic belonging to the natural penicillin group. Penicillin G inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins. The low-content 1-unit discs are designed for sensitive detection of reduced penicillin susceptibility or resistance in selected bacterial species when used with validated laboratory methods and applicable interpretive criteria. Manufactured by MAST Group, these discs support reliable antimicrobial susceptibility testing in hospital microbiology laboratories, diagnostic centres, medical laboratories, research institutions and healthcare facilities.
