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 procedure
  1. Open vial according to enclosed instructions or visit www.atcc.org for instructions.
  2. Under anaerobic conditions aseptically rehydrate the entire pellet with approximately 0.5 mL of #2107 broth. Aseptically transfer the entire contents to a 5-6 mL tube of #2107 broth. Additional test tubes can be inoculated by transferring 0.5 mL of the primary broth tube to these secondary broth tubes. Best practice dictates the use of pre-reduced media.
  3. Use several drops of the primary broth tube to inoculate a brucella blood plate and/or blood agar slant.
  4. Incubate in an anaerobic atmosphere at 37°C for 24 to 48 hours. Incubate one agar plate aerobically at 37°C to check for contamination.

ANAEROBIC CONDITIONS:
Anaerobic conditions for transfer may be obtained by the use of an anaerobic gas chamber or placement of test tubes under a gassing cannula system connected to anaerobic gas.

Anaerobic conditions for incubation may be obtained by any of the following:
  • Loose screw caps on test tubes in an anaerobic chamber
  • Loose screw caps on test tubes in an activated anaerobic gas pack jar
  • Use of sterile butyl rubber stoppers on test tubes so that an anaerobic gas headspace is retained

Handling notes

Anaerobe Systems Brucella Blood Agar plates (AS-111 or AS-141) are recommended for analyzing colony morphology and purity. Anaerobe Systems Reinforced Clostridial Broth (AS-606) is recommended for better growth.

Always use freshly prepared prereduced media or prereduced media that has been previously prepared but stored under anaerobic conditions.

Purified genomic DNA of this strain is available as ATCC 11437D-5. Also available as a certified reference material: ATCC CRM-11437.
