Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Neomycin Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs are high-quality diagnostic discs designed for manual antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) in veterinary microbiology. Each disc contains 30 µg of neomycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic effective against a broad spectrum of Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria. These discs help veterinary laboratories determine the in vitro sensitivity of bacterial isolates from animal specimens.
The discs are pre-loaded, 6 mm sterile filter papers, dispensed from shatterproof spring-loaded cartridges for convenient application. Cartridges are individually foil-sealed with desiccant to ensure <2% moisture content and long-term stability, even under varied storage conditions.
These discs are validated for use according to CLSI veterinary AST guidelines, ensuring reliability and reproducibility in the detection of antimicrobial resistance patterns in pathogens isolated from livestock, companion animals, and avian species.
