Designed for semi-quantitative in vitro susceptibility testing of rapidly growing and certain fastidious bacterial pathogens.
Utilizes the Kirby-Bauer agar diffusion test procedure, suitable for a range of bacteria including Enterobacteriaceae, Staphylococcus spp., Pseudomonas spp., Acinetobacter spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Enterococcus spp., and, with modifications, Haemophilus spp., Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and N. meningitidis.
Developed by Hardy Diagnostics, these AST discs are essential for clinical laboratories aiming to determine bacterial resistance to Imipenem.
