Download Genome Learn about the ATCC Genome PortalATCC 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.
ATCC 6538P was found moderately resistant to penicillin in 1944 using a Penicillin P2 disk. This result was confirmed in initial characterization at ATCC, but subsequent investigation using a Penicillin P10 disk did not show resistance. Resistance has not been confirmed using modern methods in accordance with the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines.
For best results, propagate on ATCC Medium #117. Growth on alternate media may result in the loss of traits such as antibiotic resistance. According to the depositor, this strain has demonstrated resistance to Penicillin using the P2 antibiotic disk.
Strain is coagulase positive and β-lactamase negative.
