The Liofilchem® Nitrofurantoin F Antimicrobial Suscsceptibility Discs are precision-manufactured filter paper discs impregnated with 100 µg or 300 µg of Nitrofurantoin, a broad-spectrum urinary tract antibiotic. These discs are used for the qualitative determination of antimicrobial susceptibility of bacterial isolates through the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method, as outlined in CLSI and EUCAST standards.
Nitrofurantoin is particularly effective against Escherichia coli, Enterococci, and other urinary tract pathogens. The 300 µg disc concentration is specifically useful for detecting low-level resistance mechanisms or in epidemiological surveillance, while the 100 µg disc is suitable for standard clinical susceptibility testing.
These discs are part of Liofilchem’s extensive IVD-certified range, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency, strict potency control, and international guideline compliance.
Key Features & Benefits
