Antibiotic Disc Ceflxime cfx (mast)
In stock
In veterinary microbiology, selecting the correct antibiotic is critical to preventing treatment failure and the spread of drug-resistant bacteria. The Cefixime disc allows laboratories to perform the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion test. By placing the disc on an inoculated agar plate, veterinarians can see if the bacteria are susceptible by measuring the clear "zone of inhibition" (the area where bacteria cannot grow around the disc).

The disc itself is a small, high-quality filter paper impregnated with a precise, standardized concentration of the drug—typically between 5 µg and 10 µg per disc. The letters CFX and the dosage are typically printed directly on both sides of the disc for easy visual identification.

- In Vitro Diagnostic Use: Designed strictly for laboratory testing on pure, agar-grown bacterial cultures to guide therapeutic decisions.
- Third-Generation Cephalosporin: Represents a class of antibiotics that are highly stable against many beta-lactamase enzymes, making them effective against certain resistant Gram-negative bacilli.
- Stable Formulation: Usually supplied in sealed plastic dispensing cartridges with desiccants to maintain optimal moisture levels (often <2%). This guarantees the long-term stability and potency of the antibiotic.
