Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid 20/10 antibiotic disk – Biomaxima

The Amoxicillin-Clavulanic Acid 20/10 Antibiotic Disk by Biomaxima is a testing tool used in microbiology laboratories to determine the susceptibility of bacteria to the combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, which is an antibiotic commonly used to treat various bacterial infections. This disk diffusion test helps healthcare professionals and researchers identify the effectiveness of this antibiotic combination against specific bacterial strains.

Key Features of the Amoxicillin-Clavulanic Acid 20/10 Antibiotic Disk – Biomaxima:

1. Antibiotic Sensitivity Testing: The disk diffusion test is a standard method used to assess the sensitivity of bacteria to specific antibiotics. It involves placing antibiotic-soaked paper disks on a culture plate containing bacterial colonies.
2. Amoxicillin-Clavulanic Acid Combination: Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid is a combination antibiotic often used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. Clavulanic acid helps enhance the effectiveness of amoxicillin by inhibiting bacterial resistance mechanisms.
3. Zone of Inhibition: The disk diffusion test measures the “zone of inhibition,” which is an area around the antibiotic disk where bacterial growth is inhibited due to the antibiotic’s action.
4. Measurement of Susceptibility: The size of the zone of inhibition indicates the level of susceptibility of bacteria to the antibiotic. Larger zones typically indicate greater susceptibility.
5. Clinical Decision-Making: The results of antibiotic susceptibility testing help guide clinical decision-making by providing information about which antibiotics are likely to be effective in treating a particular infection.
6. Laboratory Testing: The Amoxicillin-Clavulanic Acid 20/10 Antibiotic Disk is used by clinical and research laboratories to test bacterial isolates obtained from patient samples.
7. Quality Control: The disk is manufactured with consistent quality to ensure accurate and reproducible test results.
8. Microbiology Research: The disk diffusion test is also used in microbiology research to study bacterial resistance patterns and antibiotic effectiveness.

It’s important to note that the Amoxicillin-Clavulanic Acid 20/10 Antibiotic Disk is not used for patient treatment directly. Instead, it’s a tool for testing bacterial susceptibility to this specific antibiotic combination in a laboratory setting.

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.
