McGill AMR Microbial Library is a new shared resource designed to provide streamlined access to a diverse collection of well-characterized microbial isolates for the McGill research community. Researchers [with appropriate capacity to work with microbial isolates] can now request individual isolates or curated isolate panels. This is a living collection that will continue to expand over time! Each isolate is accompanied by standardized information on source specimen, species identification, and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles. Additional demographic and contextual data may be available upon request.
