Panel:   Aminoglycoside/tetracycline Resistance (ATR)
AR Bank # 0573 Enterococcus faecalis
Study ID: ATR-33

Biosample Accession #: SAMN11954005

   
MLST: 36(Pasteur)

MICs obtained by broth microdilution. Modal MIC is reported.

MIC results for each antimicrobial agent for an isolate may commonly be ± 1 log2 (doubling dilution) different than what is posted on the FDA & CDC AR Bank website because this is the normal technical variability of antimicrobial susceptibility testing (see J. H. Jorgensen. 1993. J Clin Microbiol. Vol 31[11]: 2841-2844).

Disclaimer:
AR gene prediction was performed using ARG-ANNOT and ResFinder databases accessed on 20180608. AR drug classes are assigned according to these databases. This analysis does not include mutations that may result in antibiotic resistance or resistance determinants added to newer versions of used database or other antimicrobial resistance gene databases. For resistance determinant detection, 99-100% sequence identity and 100% sequence coverage from GAMMA and SRST2 was used. GAMMA uses amino acid sequence to assign gene alleles from assemblies; SRST2 uses nucleotide sequence to assign gene alleles from sequencing reads. Biosample accession numbers have been provided so that users can analyze the data on their own if so desired. *MLST Type (and scheme), as determined by Torsten Seemann's MLST program. For Enterobacteriaceae, the Pasteur MLST schemes are used except for E. coli for which both the Pasteur and Achtman schemes are reported. SUB=novel MLST identified and "submitted". **Presence of Efflux Pump may not be associated with resistance.
Propagation
MEDIUM
Medium: Trypticase Soy Agar with 5% Sheep Blood (BAP)

GROWTH CONDITIONS
Temperature: 35°C
Atmosphere: Aerobic

PROPAGATION PROCEDURE

Remove the sample vial to a container with dry ice or a freezer block. Keep vial on ice or block. (Do not let vial content thaw)

Open vial aseptically to avoid contamination

Using a sterile loop, remove a small amount of frozen isolate from the top of the vial

Aseptically transfer the loop to BAP

Use streak plate method to isolate single colonies

Incubate inverted plate at 35°C ± 2°C for 18-24 hrs.
