Public and confidential deposit

Strains and genomic DNA distribution

Services: Taxonomic identification (biochemical tests, Maldi-TOF Mass Spectrometry, Molecular biology), Antimicrobial resistance profiling of strains, Inoculum preparation

Screening of Antibacterial Potential against standardized pathogenic bacteria panels

Custom services

Due to its expertise, the CIRM-BP is a partner of choice for the management of biological resources used in scientific projects, guaranteeing their quality, durability and, if desired, their visibility and accessibility. The BRC usually contributes to research projects through the identification and characterization of pathogenic bacterial strains, the study of their biodiversity, or the characterization of the antibacterial potential of molecules or extracts of interest.

ISO 9001 certification

Scope of certification: “Acquisition, authentication, conservation and distribution of strains of pathogenic bacteria and of their derivative products. Achievement of related services.”
