Continued expansion and characterisation of the strain and isolate collection to ensure it remains reflective of contemporary and genomically diverse multi-drug resistant and epidemic lineages of target pathogens (~20-30 strains) across E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, A. baumannii and S. aureus. This expanded collection will be made available for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) across PACE-funded projects and the wider AMR community.
