E. Coli Strains

The bacterial strains of SSI Diagnostica are mostly clinical isolates.
They are intended for research or for use as negative/positive controls for serotyping of antigens.
Each strain has been grown on a non-selective agar plate overnight and the serotype verified by SSI Diagnostica specific antisera.

Product description

E. coli strains are delivered in extract agar in either a sealed glass tube or in a cryogenic vial.
Strains sent in agar slant must be plated out within a week from receipt and resown, as strains cannot survive in transport agar for a long time.

High Quality

Each strain has been grown on a non-selective agar plate overnight and the serotype verified by SSI Diagnostica specific antisera

Experience

SSI Diagnostica have produced strains for several years and our skilled employees are ready to help you

How to use

The bacterial strains of SSI Diagnostica are intended for research or for use as negative/positive controls for serotyping of antigens.

The strains sent in agar slant can be cultured directly.

Product range

When purchasing bacterial strains, we kindly ask you to fill out a Material Transfer agreement.

We primarily sell reference strains and have reference strains for all O, H, K and F antigens.

Please note, concerning the OK O serotypes, that except for the OK O strains OK O26, OK O45, OK O55, OK O114 and OK O157, the other OK O serotypes are matched with the O strains with the corresponding number e.g. OK O86 antisera is matched with the O86 strain.

Strains are are shipped according to UN 3373.

F.A.Q.

Click the question to get your answer

Please send an inquiry. Depending on the needed volume, we might be able to develop the requested product. It can be anything from a new pool composition to a new antiserum.

Yes, you can buy all reference strains for the O, H and K antigens.

We offer a yearly training course. Contact us for more information.

A reference strain is a microorganism defined to at least the genus and species level, catalogued and described according to its characteristics e.g. O, K and H serotype and stating its origin.
A test strain is generally used for quality control and performance testing of culture media or serving as a positive/negative control in a diagnostic kit ensuring that the performance of the test has been successful.
Wild type strains are isolates from patients, animals or other sources, and these are not well defined.

You should send the strain according to your national legislation. The strain should be transported in an ordinary transport medium (Stuarts, Cary Blair, lyophilised or likewise), and the package should be marked with an UN number corresponding to the content of the package.

The main advantages are:
1. Reaction time for E. coli OK O antisera is only 10 seconds reducing the risk of false positive reactions leading to a more accurate result compared to other tests having a reaction time of 1 minute.
2. SSI Diagnostica antisera are absorbed and thus very specific.
3. We offer technical expertise and assistance / training.
