ATCC determines the biosafety level of a material based on our risk assessment as guided by the current edition of Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is your responsibility to understand the hazards associated with the material per your organization’s policies and procedures as well as any other applicable regulations as enforced by your local or national agencies.

ATCC highly recommends that appropriate personal protective equipment is always used when handling vials. For cultures that require storage in liquid nitrogen, it is important to note that some vials may leak when submersed in liquid nitrogen and will slowly fill with liquid nitrogen. Upon thawing, the conversion of the liquid nitrogen back to its gas phase may result in the vial exploding or blowing off its cap with dangerous force creating flying debris. Unless necessary, ATCC recommends that these cultures be stored in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen rather than submersed in liquid nitrogen.

Handling information

Medium

ATCC Medium 18: Trypticase Soy Agar/Broth

Temperature

37°C

Atmosphere

Aerobic

Handling procedure

Open vial.
Using a single tube of #18 broth (5 to 6 mL), withdraw approximately 0.5 to 1.0 mL with a Pasteur or 1.0 mL pipette. Rehydrate the entire pellet.
Aseptically transfer this aliquot back into the broth tube. Mix well.
Use several drops of the suspension to inoculate a #18 agar slant and/or plate.
Incubate the tubes and plate at 37°C for 24 hours.

Handling notes

ATCC 25922 is a recommended reference strain for antibiotic susceptibility testing. It has been found that passage in broth often results in a change in MIC levels. Therefore, it is best to keep it on agar and to make stocks for storage immediately. Repeated passage is discouraged.

Purified genomic DNA of this strain is available as ATCC 25922D-5.

Additional information on this culture is available on the ATCC web site at www.atcc.org.
