    Microbiology Applications

    Cloxacillin is commonly used in clinical in vitro microbiological antimicrobial susceptibility tests (panels, discs, and MIC strips) against Gram-positive microbial isolates.  Medical microbiologists use AST results to recommend antibiotic treatment options.  Representative MIC values include:

    Staphylococcus aureus 0.2 µg/mL – 3.13 µg/mL
