The CIRM-BP is dedicated to the conservation and distribution of bacterial strains that are pathogenic for animals or humans. Strains come from INRAE collections, targeted sampling projects or collaborations with academic or private partners. The CIRM-BP also aims to exploit the biodiversity and particularities of these pathogens in collaboration with research teams. Located within the joint research unit “Infectious Diseases and Public Health” (UMR ISP 1282, France) the CIRM-BP has facilities for managing collections of pathogenic bacteria (biological risk groups 2 or 3) in compliance with current safety regulations. It benefits from a scientific environment rich in expertise in the fields of knowledge of pathogens and the mechanisms of infections and their control. The CIRM-BP also collaborates with the largest French experimental facility in infectiology (PFIE) which offers possibilities of experimentation in confined A2 and A3 systems on most of the farm or laboratory animals.
