Description

Confirm Gram-stain reaction of anaerobes and presumptively identify anaerobic, Gram-negative bacilli with Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Kanamycin Disk.

In 1971 Sutter and Finegold1 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.

Presumptively identify anaerobic bacteria with Kanamycin disks.3,4

  • Ready to use: Kanamycin-impregnated disk.
  • Easy to interpret: Sensitive organisms exhibit an inhibitory zone greater than 10 mm around the antibiotic disk while resistant organisms exhibit no inhibitory zone or a zone that is less than 10 mm around the disk.

Kanamycin Disk contains 1000 μg kanamycin.

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.
