I have 10 MDR isolates (five each of gram positive and gram negative bacteria) including metallo beta lactamase producer isolated from clinical samples and I want to test antimicrobial effect of plant extract against these organism. So could anybody suggest me in using ATCC culture that can be used as standard.
( I have ATCC culture that can be used for media testing but need name of ATCC that should be used in testing antimicrobial compounds against MDR organisms)
S.aureus NCTC6571, Ps. aeruginosa NCTC10662, A. baumannii
ATCC19606 and E.coli NCTC10418. Please check your email.
ATCC, NCTC or we call it as MTCC in india these are all different recognised culture banks from where you can get authenticated strains.

go to this site and order your strains. rest information on site.
hope this will help
ATCC strains are more sensitive to antibiotics than MDR strains, but it does not mean that they are more sensitive to herbal extracts.
In my work I have found that some multi-resistant strains may have sensitivity to herbal extracts than non resistant (wild) strains.
There is no real relation.
But if you want to test them, use the same ATCC strains that you used in MDR strains.
You can always compare and verify my idea.
Good luck
