Thermo Scientific™ Vancomycin Disk

Description
Confirm Gram-stain reactions and presumptively identify anaerobic, Gram-negative bacilli with this ready-to-use Vancomycin Disk.
Confirm Gram-stain reaction of anaerobes and presumptively identify anaerobic, Gram-negative bacilli with Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Vancomycin Disks. Proposed in 1971 by Sutter and Finegold1 who recommended a method to identify anaerobic, Gram-negative bacilli based on the difference in response to an antibiotic. Accordingly, organisms can be grouped based on their characteristic inhibitory patterns with erythromycin, rifampin, colistin, penicillin, kanamycin and vancomycin2,3.
Confirm Gram-stain reaction of anaerobes and presumptively identify anaerobic, Gram-negative bacilli with Vancomycin Disks.
- Ready to use - Vancomycin-impregnated disk
- Easy to interpret - With visual inspection
Vancomycin Disk contains 5 μg vancomycin.
Disks impregnated with erythromycin, rifampin, colistin, penicillin, kanamycin and vancomycin can be used to identify anaerobic, Gram-negative bacilli based on the zone of inhibition they exhibit. Colistin and vancomycin confirm the Gram-stain reaction which is helpful with the Clostridia that stain Gram-negative. Penicillin, rifampin and kanamycin separate Bacteroides and Fusobacterium.
