BMS Labs Stock Culture List

The organisms listed below are maintained at -80°C with 5-15% glycerol. When obtaining new stock cultures, please forward all information to the laboratory manager in order to update current records. University Safety & Assurances requires documentation of all microorganisms, and has adopted the recommendations laid out in The American Society for Microbiology’s “Biosafety in Teaching Laboratories” guidelines. These guidelines recommend the use of cultures from, “…authorized commercial, or reputable sources (e.g., an academic laboratory or state health department.” ASM also recommends obtaining “fresh stock cultures of microorganism annually (e.g. purchased, revived from frozen stock cultures, etc.)”.

The use of clinical specimens in UWM teaching labs is prohibited unless approved by the University Safety & Assurances Biosafety Officer.
