Dual-Agent Antimicrobial Disc for Veterinary Susceptibility Testing Using the Kirby-Bauer Method
Liofilchem® Lincomycin-Spectinomycin MSP Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs contain 100 µg of a fixed combination of two antibiotics—lincomycin (a lincosamide) and spectinomycin (an aminocyclitol). This combination is particularly used in veterinary microbiology to assess the susceptibility of animal pathogens, especially in livestock, poultry, and swine infections.
Each 6 mm disc is impregnated with a precise 100 µg dose (typically 1:2 ratio lincomycin:spectinomycin) and is used in the disc diffusion method (Kirby-Bauer) to evaluate bacterial resistance or susceptibility. Manufactured under ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 standards, these discs provide high reliability and consistency in zone of inhibition interpretation.
Key Features & Benefits
- Dual-Agent Disc (Lincomycin + Spectinomycin) – Enables testing of combination antibiotic formulations frequently used in veterinary medicine
- 100 µg Total Potency – Standardized dose ensures reproducible results across veterinary laboratories
- Veterinary AST Tool – Designed for testing animal pathogens, especially in swine and poultry microbiology
- Sterile Blister Packaging – Maintains integrity and ensures easy handling in routine workflows
- Quality Compliant – Meets EUCAST, CLSI, and international veterinary susceptibility testing guidelines
Use Cases & Applications
1. Veterinary Microbiology Laboratories
- Evaluate susceptibility of bacterial pathogens isolated from livestock (e.g., Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Pasteurella multocida, Mycoplasma spp.)
- Assess therapeutic options for respiratory and systemic infections in pigs and poultry
- Frequently used in AST panels for combination therapy formulations such as lincomycin-spectinomycin injectable solutions
2. Regulatory & Surveillance Laboratories
- Monitor resistance trends in veterinary pathogens under national or global antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance programs
- Support prudent antibiotic use and antibiotic stewardship in veterinary practice
3. Research & Academic Institutions
- Study the mechanism of action or resistance for lincosamides and spectinomycin in animal-associated pathogens
- Perform comparative testing with individual lincomycin or spectinomycin discs to evaluate synergistic or additive effects
