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

MAST Rifampicin 5µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Test Discs are high-quality antibiotic-impregnated paper discs designed for determining bacterial susceptibility to Rifampicin using standardized agar disc diffusion testing methods. Each disc contains 5 micrograms of Rifampicin, a rifamycin-class antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, preventing RNA synthesis and bacterial multiplication. Manufactured by MAST Group, these discs support antimicrobial susceptibility investigations involving selected Gram-positive and other bacterial pathogens, including Staphylococcus species, where validated testing methods and organism-specific interpretive criteria are available. The product is suitable for hospital microbiology laboratories, diagnostic centres, clinical laboratories, medical research institutions and healthcare facilities conducting bacterial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility investigations.
