Handling procedure
Open vial according to enclosed instructions.
Using a single tube of #3 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 #3 agar slant and/or plate.
Incubate the tubes and plate at 37°C for 24 hours.
Handling notes
The genome of this strain has been determined. It has been genotyped as USA400 by PFGE and carries the pvl gene for Panton-Valentine Leukocidin cytotoxin.
