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

MAST Trimethoprim 5µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Test Discs are high-quality antibiotic-impregnated paper discs designed for determining the susceptibility of bacterial isolates to Trimethoprim using standardized agar disc diffusion testing methods. Each disc contains 5 micrograms of Trimethoprim, an antifolate antibiotic that inhibits bacterial dihydrofolate reductase, interfering with folic acid metabolism and bacterial DNA synthesis. Trimethoprim susceptibility testing is particularly relevant to selected bacterial pathogens associated with urinary tract infections, including Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species and other susceptible organisms where validated testing methods and interpretive criteria are available. Manufactured by MAST Group, these discs support reliable and reproducible antimicrobial susceptibility testing in hospital microbiology laboratories, diagnostic centres, clinical laboratories, medical research institutions and healthcare facilities.
