Additional Information:

M. tuberculosis is an acid-fast, Gram-positive, non-motile, rod-shaped aerobic bacterium. It is the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB) and is responsible for more morbidity in humans than any other bacterial disease. M. tuberculosis is a slow-growing pathogen with a thick, lipid-rich cell wall, lending bacilli the unusual propensity to shut down its metabolism in the face of adverse conditions and enter a latent phase in which it displays phenotypic resistance to antibiotic therapy. The primary focus of infection is the lungs, with TB being spread by infectious aerosols produced by coughing. The spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) TB is a major medical and public health concern.4,5,6,7,8,9

Material Provided:
|
Each vial contains approximately 0.7 mL of bacterial culture in Middlebrook 7H9 broth with ADC enrichment with 10% glycerol.
Note: If homogeneity is required for your intended use, please purify prior to initiating work.
|
|
Packing/Storage:
|
NR-43815 was packaged aseptically in cryovials. The product is provided frozen and should be stored at -60°C or colder immediately upon arrival. For long-term storage, the vapor phase of a liquid nitrogen freezer is recommended. Freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided.
