Modified protocol using the Wizard® SV Genomic Purification System to isolate bacteria as follows: The pelleted bacteria were resuspended in 400µl of enzymatic lysis solution (47mM EDTA, 25mg/ml lysozyme, 20µg/ml lysostaphin) and incubated for 2 hours at 37°C. Next, 19.2 mg/ml proteinase K was added (final concentration 0.4 mg/ml), and the mixture was incubated for 1 hour at 55°C. Finally, the Nuclei Lysis Solution and RNase Solution were added, mixed and incubated for 10 minutes at 80°C.
