MAST Piperacillin-Tazobactam 100-10µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs – 5 × 50 Discs

MAST Piperacillin/Tazobactam 100/10µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Test Discs are high-quality antibiotic-impregnated paper discs designed for determining bacterial susceptibility to the Piperacillin and Tazobactam combination using standardized agar disc diffusion testing methods. Each disc contains 100 micrograms of Piperacillin, an extended-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic, and 10 micrograms of Tazobactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor that helps protect Piperacillin from degradation by certain bacterial enzymes. Manufactured by MAST Group, these discs support antimicrobial susceptibility investigations involving selected Gram-negative bacterial pathogens, including Enterobacterales and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, where applicable validated testing procedures and interpretive criteria are available. They are suitable for hospital microbiology laboratories, diagnostic centres, clinical laboratories, medical research institutions, and healthcare facilities performing routine antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
