Storage of mycobacterial strains
Abstract:
The storage and maintenance of mycobacterial reference strains and clinical isolates are important parts of good laboratory practice in a mycobacterial laboratory. The storage of reference and control strains facilitates a reliable control on intra- and inter-test reproducibility (1,12). Furthermore, to study various aspects of the epidemiology of tuberculosis it is important to be able to study serial isolates of individual patients (13) or of patients associated with particular place or time factors (14).
