Historical phage collections and hosts

The searchable phage and bacterial-host catalogues are paused. Old links reach this archive so their purpose remains clear; no phage availability or matching service is offered here.

Bacterial hosts

The hosts catalogue connected bacterial names to labs and their phage collections. Read Finding phages for research for the approach discussed at the time, and the 2020 strain-collection survey for historical collection data.

Phages and collections

Our phage catalogue article describes the catalogue proposal and early collaborators. Preserved collection stories include BCM TAILOR, NCTC and the 2020 phage-collection survey.
