The ability to recover bacteria from frozen culture specimens has important implications. The purpose of this study was to validate the utility of frozen specimens for recovery of several gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial species by culture. Results demonstrate that 98% of 250 bacterial isolates identified on initial culture were subsequently recovered by culture of frozen specimens after a median storage period of 564 days.
从冷冻培养标本中复苏细菌的能力具有重要意义。本研究的目的是通过培养来验证冷冻标本用于复苏几种革兰氏阳性和革兰氏阴性细菌的效用。结果表明，在最初培养时鉴定出的250株细菌分离株中，98%在中位储存期564天后通过冷冻标本培养得以复苏。
