Long term storage of fastidious bacteria (Neisseria spp. and Haemophilus spp.) with swab preservation at -80 °C.

Abstract:

:Preservation of strains is important to further studies and characterization; we have shown a technique of long-term preservation of Neisseria spp. and Haemophilus spp. by freezing cotton tip swabs impregnated with fastidious organisms at -80 °C without the addition of cryoprotectants.
