• Properties Teicoplanin TEI 30 mcg is a filter paper disc used for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of bacterial cultures, specifically by the Kirby-Bauer method. Each disc contains 30 mcg of teicoplanin, a glycopeptide antibiotic. The discs are used to determine which antimicrobial agents are effective against a particular bacterial isolate. Intended Use: Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing: The primary purpose is to assess the susceptibility of bacteria to teicoplanin using the disk diffusion method, which is a common technique for determining antibiotic effectiveness. Key Features: Disc Composition: A filter paper disc with a 6.0 mm diameter. Teicoplanin Concentration: Each disc contains 30 mcg of teicoplanin. Printing: The discs are printed with "TEI 30" on both sides for easy identification, according to Microxpress. Mechanism of Action: Teicoplanin inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by preventing the formation of the bacterial cell wall, which is essential for bacterial survival. Spectrum of Activity: Teicoplanin is effective against a variety of Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Enterococcus faecalis. In summary, Teicoplanin TEI 30 mcg discs are a tool used in microbiology labs to determine the effectiveness of teicoplanin against bacterial cultures, helping to guide antibiotic treatment decisions.
