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 vancomycin^2,3.

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.
