MAST Teicoplanin 30µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs – 5 × 50 Discs

MAST Teicoplanin 30µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Test Discs are high-quality antibiotic-impregnated paper discs designed for laboratory investigations of bacterial susceptibility to Teicoplanin using agar disc diffusion testing methods. Each disc contains 30 micrograms of Teicoplanin, a glycopeptide antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to D-alanyl-D-alanine structures within bacterial cell wall precursors. Teicoplanin is primarily active against susceptible Gram-positive bacteria, including certain Staphylococcus, Streptococcus and Enterococcus species. Manufactured by MAST Group, these discs provide standardized antibiotic content for microbiological testing and research applications. They are suitable for hospital microbiology laboratories, diagnostic centres, medical research institutions and clinical laboratories. Clinical testing consideration: Teicoplanin disc diffusion has important limitations for certain organisms. Clinical susceptibility reporting should only be performed where the applicable standard provides validated interpretive criteria. Where disc diffusion is unsuitable, a validated minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method should be used.
