British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (BSAC) Projects

Many of the isolates sequenced in this collaboration were contributed by the BSAC Resistance Surveillance Project, a long-term study initiated by the British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy to monitor antimicrobial susceptibility and resistance in the UK and Ireland. An extensive network of clinical laboratories began collecting bacterial isolates from lower respiratory tract infections in 1999 and from bacteraemia in 2001. Please see the BSAC Resistance Surveillance Project web site for full study protocols, tables of results, and availability of isolates.

In addition to acknowledging the sequencing centre (as described in the Data Sharing Policy), publications based on these data should acknowledge the BSAC Resistance Surveillance Project as the source of the isolates.
