Handling procedure
Open vial according to enclosed instructions or visit www.atcc.org for instructions.
Rehydrate the entire pellet with approximately 0.5 mL of #18 broth. Aseptically transfer the entire contents to a 5-6 mL tube of #18 broth. Additional test tubes can be inoculated by transferring 0.5 mL of the primary broth tube to these secondary tubes.
Use several drops of the primary broth tube to inoculate a #18 plate and/or #18 agar slant.
Incubate at 37°C for 24 hours.
Handling notes
Depositor claims sensitivity to Imipenem and Meropenem, however, antibiotic susceptibility testing for both Imipenem and Meropenem did not confirm claim.
