Liofilchem Antibiotic Discs

Antibiotic Discs are a crucial tool in microbiology for performing the Kirby-Bauer antibiotic susceptibility test. These paper discs are impregnated with antibiotics and come in various configurations, including cartridges and canisters, with packages of 50 or 250 tests. Each package also includes a transparent resealable bag for convenient storage.

The method principle of the Antibiotic Discs involves applying the discs to a culture medium inoculated with a pure colony suspension of the microorganism under examination. After incubation, the inhibition halos around each disc are compared with standard inhibition halos to determine whether the microorganisms are susceptible, intermediate, or resistant to the tested antimicrobial agents.

The composition of discs is made of high-quality paper in compliance with WHO and FDA specifications, ensuring reliable and accurate results. The discs are manufactured under the quality systems UNI EN ISO 9001 and EN ISO 13485, and to DIN specification for potency, with each antibiotic concentration within 90-125% of the concentration stated on the disc.

It is important to note that the medium used depends on the organism under investigation and the methodology followed and must be validated by the media manufacturer for antimicrobial susceptibility testing.

Antibiotic Discs are a reliable and essential tool for performing antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Their high-quality composition and various configurations make them a trusted choice for microbiologists in multiple settings.
