Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Linezolid LZD Antimicrobial Susceptibility discs

The Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Linezolid Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs are high-quality diagnostic discs used in in vitro testing to assess bacterial susceptibility to linezolid. These discs are essential for monitoring resistance patterns, particularly among Gram-positive organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus spp., and Streptococcus spp.

Each 6 mm paper disc is impregnated with 10 µg or 30 µg of linezolid and sealed within a spring-loaded, shatterproof cartridge for precise dispensing. The packaging includes a desiccant to maintain moisture below 2%, ensuring product stability throughout its shelf life.

In addition to providing quantitative susceptibility data, the discs enable visual observations of microbial growth abnormalities, contamination, resistant colonies, and potential antibiotic synergy or antagonism.
