Antibacterial susceptibility testing discs are in vitro diagnostic (IVD) tools used to assess how bacteria respond to specific antibiotics. Clinicians apply these discs to cultured bacterial samples to determine which antibiotics may effectively treat infections, helping guide targeted therapy and reduce resistance.
These discs are regulated as medical devices, typically requiring validation for accuracy and performance before market release. They are supplied as single-use items and must comply with standards ensuring reliable results for clinical decision-making, though classification varies by jurisdiction.
