UK National Collection of Type Cultures (NCTC)

The UK National Collection of Type Cultures, NCTC, have a collection of over 100 bacteriophages that were deposited between 1950 and 1992 primarily for their value in bacterial typing. Recently, these have been characterized and re-authenticated in view of making them more accessible to scientists worldwide. The collection consists of Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus bacteriophages. NCTC is a dynamic repository and welcomes new depositions of phages into the collection.
