Cefotetan / Cefotetan + Cloxacillin

Ezy MIC™ strip is useful for quantitative determination of susceptibility of bacteria to antibacterial agents. The system comprises of a predefined quantitative gradient which is used for phenotypic detection of AmpC beta lactamase producing organism on appropriate agar media, following overnight incubation. Cefotetan / Cefotetan+Cloxacillin Ezy MIC™ Strip is a thin, inert and porous paper strip coated with antibiotic and inhibitor on a single strip in a concentration gradient manner. The upper half has Cefotetan+Cloxacillin with a highest concentration tapering downwards and capable of showing MIC values in the range of 0.5-32 mcg/ml, whereas lower half is similarly coated with Cefotetan concentration gradient in reverse direction to show MIC values in the range of 0.5-32 mcg/ml. Both sides of the strip are likewise printed with the MIC reading scale and the symbol “CTN+” printed on the top of the strip whereas "CTN" printed on bottom of the strips helps in easy identification of the antibiotic.
