Aztreonam 30 antibiotic disk – Biomaxima
Aztreonam 30 Antibiotic Disc is a 6mm paper disc impregnated with 30 micrograms of aztreonam. It is used in microbiological diagnostics to determine the susceptibility of bacteria to aztreonam.
The disc is placed on an agar plate that has been inoculated with the bacteria to be tested. The antibiotic diffuses from the disc into the agar, and a zone of inhibition will form around the disc if the bacteria is susceptible to aztreonam. The size of the zone of inhibition is used to interpret the results of the test.
Aztreonam is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that is active against a wide range of bacteria, including Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is used to treat a variety of infections, including pneumonia, sepsis, and urinary tract infections.
The Aztreonam 30 Antibiotic Disc is manufactured by Biomaxima S.A., a pharmaceutical company based in Spain. It is available in packages of 50 or 100 discs.

- It should be used according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Ease-of-use is provided by shatterproof spring-loaded cartridges, easy-to-read labeling and end-of-cartridge indicators.
disc diffusion not only categorizes resistant, intermediate and sensitive organisms through quantitative results but also provides a visual indication of the following:
- Inoculum level
- Presence of contamination
- Resistant mutants
- Beta-lactamase activity
- Antagonism and synergy between antibiotics
Each cartridge is individually sealed with a desiccant to maintain a moisture level of <2%, ensuring long term stability.
