Ampicillin 2 Antibiotic Disc – Biomaxima

The Ampicillin 2 Antibiotic Disc by Biomaxima is a tool used in microbiology laboratories for antibiotic susceptibility testing. This disk diffusion test helps determine the susceptibility of bacteria to ampicillin, an antibiotic commonly used to treat bacterial infections. The test provides valuable information about the effectiveness of ampicillin against specific bacterial strains.

Key Features of the Ampicillin 2 Antibiotic Disc – Biomaxima:

1. Antibiotic Sensitivity Testing: The disk diffusion test is a widely used method to assess how sensitive bacteria are to specific antibiotics. It involves placing antibiotic-soaked disks on a culture plate containing bacterial colonies.
2. Ampicillin Antibiotic: Ampicillin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that falls under the penicillin class. It’s commonly prescribed for various bacterial infections.
3. Zone of Inhibition: The test measures the “zone of inhibition,” which is an area around the antibiotic disc where bacterial growth is inhibited due to the antibiotic’s activity.
4. Measurement of Susceptibility: The size of the zone of inhibition helps determine the level of bacterial susceptibility to the antibiotic. Larger zones generally indicate higher susceptibility.
5. Clinical Decision-Making: The results of antibiotic susceptibility testing guide healthcare professionals in selecting appropriate antibiotics for treating specific infections.
6. Laboratory Testing: The Ampicillin 2 Antibiotic Disc is utilized in clinical and research laboratories to test bacterial isolates obtained from patient samples.
7. Quality Control: The discs are manufactured with consistent quality to ensure reliable and reproducible test outcomes.
8. Microbiology Research: The disk diffusion test is also used in research to study bacterial resistance patterns and antibiotic effectiveness.

Please note that the Ampicillin 2 Antibiotic Disc is intended solely for laboratory use and is not designed for direct patient treatment. It assists researchers and healthcare professionals in assessing how ampicillin interacts with specific bacterial strains under controlled conditions.

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.
