Culture collection
Comprehensive collections for research
We have a wide range of bacterial isolates that are commercially available to support your studies and research.
This extensive collection has over 29,000 recent and historic bacterial isolates of large animal pathogens including both common and less common anaerobes from all livestock species.
Our collection represents typical and atypical isolates from respiratory, enteric, mastitic and other diseases.
We have collected over 15,000 isolates including:
- Over 500 Pasturella multocida strains.
- Over 4,500 E.coli strains.
- Over 1,000 Salmonella species.
- More than 1500 common mastitis pathogens.
We also have over 1,500 anaerobes of 15 genera identified to species level.
These include:
- Brachyspiras.
- Clostridia.
- Fusobacteria.
- Bacteriodes species.
Many of these isolates already have established sensitivity profiles, so we can selectively test organisms of known provenance.
We can provide you with collections of recent isolates to meet your requirements and can collect isolates if you have a specific need not covered by the current collection.
