Staphylococcus aureus bacteriophages (25 phages) were lyophilized in aliquots 12 to 18 years ago and stored in vacuo at -20 degrees C. Eight viruses each lost one log titer, while seventeen retained the original titers. The use of lyophilized phages provided more reproducible phage typing and reduced by 75% the complexity and cost. This important test is thus made feasible for more laboratories.
金黄色葡萄球菌噬菌体(25种噬菌体)于12至18年前被冻干成分份保存,并在-20℃真空储存。其中8种病毒每种损失了一个对数滴度,而17种保留了原始滴度。使用冻干噬菌体可使噬菌体分型更具可重复性,并将复杂性和成本降低75%。因此,这项重要检测对更多实验室来说变得可行。
