BD 231696 - Sensi-Disc Cefepime, Ready-to-Use Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing Disc, 50/CS
The BD 231696 Sensi-Disc Cefepime is a ready-to-use antibiotic susceptibility testing disc designed for disc diffusion (Kirby-Bauer) assays in clinical and research microbiology laboratories. It is formulated to assess bacterial susceptibility to cefepime, a fourth-generation cephalosporin antibiotic widely used to treat severe infections caused by gram-negative and some gram-positive bacteria.
Pre-loaded discs provide consistent antibiotic potency, ensuring accurate, reproducible results for laboratory diagnostics, antimicrobial resistance monitoring, and research applications.
