Features
Taxo™ P Discs are recommended for use in the presumptive identification of pneumococci
Taxo P Discs are impregnated with ethylhydrocupreine hydrochloride (optochin)
The growth of pneumococci
but not of other streptococci
is markedly inhibited by this chemical
Pneumococci may
therefore
be differentiated from other alpha-hemolytic streptococci by the formation of a zone of inhibition around a Taxo P disc placed on a blood agar plate heavily inoculated with a pure culture suspected to be Streptococcus pneumoniae
Taxo P Discs are 6 mm discs made from high quality absorbent paper impregnated with approximately 5.0 µg of ethylhydrocupreine hydrochloride per disc
