Microbial Library of Resistant Organisms

 

ATS Labs maintains an extensive library of bacterial and fungal strains, including many antibiotic-resistant bacteria or "superbugs". Multiple ATCC strains and numerous clinical isolates are available for many of the organisms listed below. ATS Labs continuously acquires additional organisms from multiple sources to assure we have the organisms for your testing needs.

If you need testing using an organism that is not in our library, please contact us and we will find it for you.
