BCG Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis Reference Panel

MP-51 ^™

The BCG Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis Reference Panel consists of seven attenuated Mycobacterium tuberculosis variant bovis BCG strains engineered to carry clinically relevant drug-resistance mutations found in M. tuberculosis. Originally developed by McGill University researchers, these BSL-2 strains provide safe, biologically meaningful controls for TB diagnostic testing without the need to handle live BSL-3 M. tuberculosis.

The panel includes defined mutations associated with resistance or reduced susceptibility to rifampin, isoniazid, moxifloxacin, streptomycin, clofazimine, and bedaquiline. Ideal for assay development, verification, and quality control applications; this panel enables end-to-end evaluation of TB drug-resistance testing while improving laboratory safety and standardization.

Documentation

Product sheet

BSL 2

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.
