B. tamiaeisolate | Primary isolation from human blood samples, described previously in [23] | Subsequent passage history (n = number of passages) |
|---|---|---|

Th307 | Blood clot from Thai patient inoculated into BAPGM [24] | HIA supplemented with 5% rabbit blood, n = 2 |
Th339 | Blood clot from Thai patient inoculated onto Vero E6 cells | BAPGM, n = 1; HIA supplemented with 5% rabbit blood, n = 2 |
