ATCC - Leading the Fight Against "Superbugs"
In the last decade, confirmed NDM-1 strains have been attributed to numerous nosocomial infections throughout the world. Regrettably, the isolation and identification of NDM-1 strains is time consuming and often not routinely available in clinical laboratories, further contributing to escalating mortality rates.
ATCC understands the danger and growing concern behind the spread of multidrug-resistance strains. To aid in the prevention and treatment of NDM-1-associated infections, ATCC has acquired and authenticated multidrug-resistant prokaryotic isolates known to produce NDM-1. Each clinical strain has undergone biochemical testing, extensive antibiotic profiling, and genomic analysis to verify:
The table below lists each of the NDM-1 strains available from ATCC.

The strains are available individually, or grouped together in the
ATCC® NDM-1 Strains Panel (ATCC® MP-18™) to allow for convenience in ordering and bulk discount pricing. The strains are ideal for the development, verification, and evaluation of:
- Rapid detection methods
- Innovative therapeutic techniques
- Novel antibiotics
- Updated sterility protocols
ATCC hopes that with your diligent research and our authenticated strains, we can stop the spread of these superbugs together!
