MAST Piperacillin 100µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs – 5 × 50 Discs

MAST Piperacillin 100µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Test Discs are high-quality antibiotic-impregnated paper discs designed for determining the susceptibility of bacterial isolates to Piperacillin using standardized agar disc diffusion methods. Each disc contains 100 micrograms of Piperacillin, a broad-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic belonging to the ureidopenicillin group. Piperacillin inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins, preventing the formation of essential bacterial cell wall structures. These discs support antimicrobial susceptibility investigations involving selected Gram-negative bacterial pathogens, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and certain Enterobacterales, where appropriate testing methods and interpretive criteria are available. Manufactured by MAST Group, the discs are designed to deliver consistent and reproducible performance in routine clinical microbiology testing. They are suitable for hospital microbiology laboratories, diagnostic centres, clinical laboratories, medical research institutions, and healthcare facilities conducting bacterial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility investigations.
