Manually determine the antibiotic susceptibility of microorganisms using Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) methods in conjunction with reliable, easy-to-use Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Ceftazidime/Avibactam Antimicrobial Susceptibility discs. Ceftazidime/Avibactam is indicated for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections, including pyelonephritis, in patients 18 years or older. In combination with metronidazole, it is also indicated for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections.
Ease-of-use is provided by shatterproof spring-loaded cartridges, easy-to-read labeling, and end-of-cartridge indicators.
Disc 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.
Oxoid Ceftazidime/Avibactam Antimicrobial Susceptibility discs are available in two concentrations to meet CLSI or EUCAST recommended levels. Oxoid discs are manufactured in accordance with appropriate quality standards, including BS EN ISO 9001:2008, ISO 13485:2003 and FDA 21 CFR part 820, and undergo comprehensive quality control testing to ensure maximum accuracy and reproducibility.
