MAST Piperacillin-Tazobactam 30-6µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs – 5 × 50 Discs

MAST Piperacillin/Tazobactam 30/6µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Test Discs are antibiotic-impregnated paper discs designed for determining the susceptibility of bacterial isolates to the Piperacillin and Tazobactam combination using standardized agar disc diffusion methods. Each disc contains 30 micrograms of Piperacillin, a broad-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic, and 6 micrograms of Tazobactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects Piperacillin against degradation by certain bacterial enzymes. These discs support antimicrobial susceptibility investigations involving selected Gram-negative bacterial pathogens, including members of Enterobacterales and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, where applicable interpretive criteria are available. Manufactured by MAST Group, these discs are designed to provide reliable and reproducible performance in clinical microbiology laboratories, hospital laboratories, diagnostic centres and medical research institutions.
