Standardized Discs for In Vitro Susceptibility Testing of Lincomycin Against Gram-Positive Bacteria
Liofilchem® Lincomycin MY Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs, available in 15 µg and 2 µg strengths, are high-quality paper discs impregnated with defined concentrations of lincomycin, a lincosamide antibiotic. These discs are used in the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method to determine bacterial susceptibility to lincomycin and are manufactured under ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 standards to ensure precision and reproducibility in zone of inhibition measurements.
Lincomycin targets Gram-positive organisms by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, making it valuable in both clinical and veterinary medicine. It is particularly effective against Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., and some anaerobes.
Key Features & Benefits
- Two Concentrations Available – 15 µg for clinical AST and 2 µg for veterinary or comparative studies
- EUCAST and CLSI Compliant – Suitable for routine diagnostic use under global standards
- Blister Packaged – Maintains disc sterility and potency until use
- Reproducible Zone Readings – Uniform disc size and drug diffusion profile
- Long Shelf Life – Supplied with optimal storage instructions for extended usability
Use Cases & Applications
1. Clinical Microbiology
- Used for susceptibility testing of Gram-positive cocci, particularly Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes
- Supports diagnosis and treatment of skin, soft tissue, and respiratory infections
- Detects cross-resistance patterns (e.g., lincosamide/macrolide resistance via D-test when paired with erythromycin discs)
2. Veterinary Microbiology
- 2 µg discs are especially useful in veterinary AST panels for Streptococcus suis, Clostridium perfringens, and other animal pathogens
- Helps guide antibiotic selection in livestock and companion animals
- Used in surveillance programs to monitor antimicrobial resistance in zoonotic bacteria
3. Research & Pharmaceutical Development
- Applied in antimicrobial resistance studies, MIC correlation testing, and academic research
- Comparative studies between different lincosamide derivatives (e.g., lincomycin vs clindamycin)
- Reference testing in new antimicrobial compound screening platforms
