Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST/MIC): Standardized testing of Francisella tularensis and related species to determine minimal inhibitory concentrations.

Cultivation and Maintenance: Supports growth of fastidious Francisella isolates for research and diagnostic workflows.

Inoculum Preparation: Preparation of standardized Francisella inocula for phenotypic assays and comparative studies.

Quality Control (QC): Growth-based QC of media and supplement lots using reference Francisella strains.

Enumeration and Detection Studies: Used for research-grade detection, viability assessment, and CFU enumeration of Francisella.

Phenotypic and Genetic Studies: Provides a nutrient-rich environment for assays requiring viable Francisella cultures.
