Where is the best place to purchase antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains?

chiral asked:
I am a chemistry graduate student looking to run MIC's with some of my compounds. Where is a good place for my lab to purchase antibiotic-resistant (single resistance) strains of E. coli and B. subtilis? I've looked at the ATCC as a credible souce, but I am unsure as to how to find and purchase resistant strains within their collection.

Yeah, right. A “graduate student” who is unfamiliar with acquisition protocols.

Ask your PI to refer you to someone in the Microbiology department. Then drop by their lab and ask their grad students to help you find what you need. They’ll know what vendors the school has deals with.

If you can’t research this question yourself why are you in graduate school? And how do you ever plan on getting a thesis? But ATCC is where you should go so follow this link and set up an account.

How is it possible that you don’t know how to acquire strains if you are a graduate student?
In fact, how did you get in the graduate school in the first place?
Perhaps you should ask your professor.
