Where online can I buy bacteria such as E.Coli and Staphylococci?

I need samples for my science fair project, but where on earth do you buy these?

Where online can I buy bacteria such as E.Coli and Staphylococci?
Wow, you folks all need to calm down. E. coli and Staph are not serious bioterror risks.





Only one form of E.coli is pathogenic, and their are also several strains of staph that don't cause any disease.





However, it really does depend on what your project is all about. In order to properly manipulate bacteria, you need aspetic techiques and the right tools. It also requires the proper media to grow, and incubaters at 37 degrees. They're not things you can just play with at home.





Depending on your project, you might be able to get a lab to help you. Local community colleges, public health labs, or even some high school bio labs might be able to help with what you need.

Reply:I highly doubt you can because of the terrorism risk.
Reply:buy some spinach for the E. Coli and go to a nail shop for the Staphylococci
Reply:you won't be able to buy Staphylococci
Reply:same place universities buy them at biological research supplies...of course, they are dead and inactive
Reply:Are you trying to get reported to the Feds? Think of another project. If you don't know how to get it you aren't mature enough to experiment with it.


++++++this is in answer to your email:


The bacterias you mentioned are dangerous and can cause mass disease if someone used them to. The dept of terrorism and the center for disease control don't have a sense of humor about these things. Just look at the national problem we just had due to tainted spinach.
Reply:lmao i don't think its legal
Reply:YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME! these are serious bacterias you are talking about, E. Coli has no effective proven cure/vaccination. There is no way you can get them off the market, unless you buy it illegally, which the FBI will immediately find out and arrest you, you have no clue how effectively E. Coli spreads, it is super contagious...., it can kill your whole family within 8 hours! SERIOUSLY, if you are doing a science fair project, DO NOT choose these bacterias
Reply:Is this a joke? You can't just buy something like that on the internet.

Reply:at what level of school are you in that you would want these samples for a science project?
