To be noted:
The format of strain identification numbers in the BCCM/ITM public collection have changed over time, as well as historical ID numbers from ITM's research collection. The various formats can be searched for under the criterium "ITM accession number" and will reflect the formats "ITM 5xxxxx", "CTyyyy-xxxxx", "yyxxxx" etc.
The format of the BCCM/ITM number for two major subcollections is distinct.
Forms of supply

- STREAM Stage 1 and Stage 2 clinical MTBc isolates: ITM-6xxxxx
- M. bovis BCG Pasteur 1721 strain and Danish 1331 strain transposon libraries : ITM-7xxxxx
Forms of supply
Freeze dried
- By default, strains are distributed as ampoules with lyophylized cells.
- We have no freeze-dried material available for two major subcollections. Biomaterial can be made available as viable cells or DNA upon request:
- STREAM Stage 1 and Stage 2 clinical MTBc isolates (ITM-6xxxxx).
- The M. bovis BCG Pasteur 1721 strain and Danish 1331 strain transposon mutants (ITM-7xxxxx).
- Upon request, strains can be shipped as actively growing cultures.
- This applies for all biomaterial from the BCCM/ITM collection, including the STREAM Stage 1 and Stage 2 clinical isolates and the M. bovis BCG transposon mutants.
- Heat inactivated mycobacteria suspensions
- Readily available for most MTBc isolates from the regular collection (ITM-5xxxxx).
- Available upon request for all BCCM/ITM collection, including the Stream Stage 1 and Stage 2 clinical isolates (ITM-6xxxxx) and the M. bovis BCG transposon mutants (ITM-7xxxxx).
- Available upon request for all mycobacterial strains, except for the M. bovis BCG transposon mutants.
