Mast Group Ltd. (Liverpool, UK) has been awarded the Public Health England (PHE) tender for the exclusive supply of antibiotic susceptibility (AST) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) discs.

Mast, a leading European AST manufacturer, is constantly reviewing its portfolio of MASTDISC AST and continues to be at the forefront of development of new antimicrobial discs. As a major strategic partner for pharmaceutical companies, Mast works closely with those organizations on the launch of new compound AST discs, with two already launched this year and more to come in the near future.
