• Non-CF and CF-reference strains and strain panels for common pathogens of the CF lung including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Burkholderia cepacia complex and non tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). Strain panels are associated with published data including genome sequence;
  • Bacterial and fungal strains isolated from the lungs of people with CF in the UK; P.aeruginosa, Achromobacter xylosoxidans, M.abscessus, B. Cepacia, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, S. aureus, Streptococcus spp, Aspergillus species, Exophila, Rasomsonia. Many are genome sequenced with associated patient metadata and include recent isolates, collections from longitudinal studies and multiple isolates from single sputum samples.
  • Sputum (frozen, whole) with associated patient metadata;
  • Signposting to centres to support prospective collection of sputum;
  • Antimicrobial susceptibility testing including combination testing in different formats and models.
