Tetracycline TE 30 mcg

Product Details:

• Properties Tetracycline 30 mcg discs are filter paper discs used in antimicrobial susceptibility testing, specifically the Kirby-Bauer method, to determine the effectiveness of tetracycline against bacterial cultures. These discs contain a specific concentration of tetracycline, 30 micrograms, impregnated onto the filter paper. They are used to assess a bacteria's susceptibility to tetracycline, guiding appropriate antibiotic therapy. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing:These discs are a tool used in clinical microbiology labs to identify which antibiotics a particular bacterial strain is susceptible to. Kirby-Bauer Method:The discs are used in a specific testing method called the Kirby-Bauer method, which involves placing the disc on a petri dish containing a bacterial culture and observing the zone of inhibition (the area where the bacteria cannot grow) around the disc. Tetracycline Concentration:The disc contains a specific concentration of tetracycline, in this case, 30 micrograms. Disc Properties:The discs are typically small (6 mm diameter) and are printed with "TE 30" on both sides for easy identification. Purpose:The results of this test help healthcare professionals choose the most effective antibiotic for treating bacterial infections.
