Manually determine the antibiotic susceptibility of microorganisms using disc diffusion methods with consistently reliable, industry leading quality1 Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Ceftolozane/Tazobactam Antimicrobial Susceptibility discs. The drug ceftolozane-tazobactam has been designed to address both Gram negative and Gram positive (in cIAI) that are multi-drug (MDR) or extensively drug (XDR) resistant. Ceftolozane-tazobactam is aimed at the treatment of serious infections, such as complicated UTIs, complicated IAIs and bacterial pneumonia.
Perform susceptibility testing of multi-drug and extensively drug resistant organisms using Oxoid™ Ceftolozane/Tazobactam Antimicrobial Susceptibility discs which contain the cephalosporin, ceftolozane, and the novel beta-lactamase inhibitor, tazobactam.

- Easy-to-use: shatterproof spring-loaded cartridges, easy-to-read labelling, and end-of-cartridge indicators.
- Long-term stability ensured: each cartridge is individually sealed with a desiccant to maintain a moisture level of <2%.
- Accurate and reproducible: manufactured under stringent quality standards including BS EN ISO 9001:2008, ISO 13485:2016 and FDA 21 CFR part 820, with comprehensive quality control testing.
- Trusted supplier: over 35 years of experience in disc development and manufacture
disc diffusion not only categorizes resistant, intermediate, and sensitive organisms through qualitative 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
