Documentation

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
Temperature
37°C
Atmosphere
95% Air, 5% CO2
Handling procedure
  1. Open thawed vial.
  2. Aseptically transfer the entire contents to a 5-6 mL tube of #44 broth. Additional test tubes can be inoculated by transferring 0.5 mL of the primary broth tube to these secondary broth tubes.
  3. Use several drops of the primary broth tube to inoculate a #260 plate and/or #260 agar slant.
  4. Incubate at 37°C for 24 hours in an atmosphere of 5% CO2.
Handling notes
An additional transfer may be required after initial 24 hours of growth in order to fully remove cyroprotectant and achieve acceptable growth.
Depositor-provided information: serotype 19F (Danish), type 19 (U.S.).
