Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Fosfomycin Antimicrobial Susceptibility Disks, 200 μg

Description

Manually determine the antibiotic susceptibility of microorganisms using Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) methods in conjunction with reliable, easy-to-use Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Fosfomycin Antimicrobial Susceptibility Disks.

The disc contains 200μg of the active ingredient, fosfomycin, with the addition of 50μg of glucose-6-phospate, as required by the EUCAST methodology. Discs must be used for E.coli only and for other Enterobacterales and Staphylococcus spp., an MIC method must be used.

Ease-of-use is provided by shatterproof spring-loaded cartridges, easy-to-read labeling and end-of-cartridge indicators.

Disk diffusion not only categorizes resistant, intermediate and sensitive organisms through quantitative results but also provides a visual indication of the following:

• Inoculum level
• Presence of contamination
• Resistant mutants
• Beta-lactamase activity
• Antagonism and synergy between antibiotics

Each cartridge is individually sealed with a desiccant to maintain a moisture level of <2%, ensuring long term stability.
