MAST Tigecycline 15µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs – 5 × 50 Discs

MAST Tigecycline 15µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Test Discs are high-quality antibiotic-impregnated paper discs designed for determining the susceptibility of bacterial isolates to Tigecycline using standardized agar disc diffusion methods. Each disc contains 15 micrograms of Tigecycline, a broad-spectrum glycylcycline antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, preventing the incorporation of amino acids into growing bacterial proteins. Tigecycline susceptibility testing is particularly relevant to selected Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial pathogens, including certain multidrug-resistant organisms, where validated testing methods and interpretive criteria are available. Manufactured by MAST Group, these discs support consistent and reproducible antimicrobial susceptibility testing in clinical microbiology laboratories, hospital laboratories, diagnostic centres, medical research institutions and healthcare facilities.
