Abstract
Long-term preservation methods are important in the maintenance of bacteria for downstream research applications. Most clinical laboratories have only limited resources for archiving isolates and therefore require cost-effect ive and simple methods. An effective and cheap storage method using debrina ted blood and maintenance at -80 degreesC is described.
