A Brief Introduction ofNationalCenterfor Medical Culture Collections (CMCC)
National Center for Medical Culture Collections (CMCC) was established in 1979 , affiliated to National Institute for Food and Drug Control（NIFDC），is a national center of medical bacteria, is also a center of National Infrastructure Microbial Resources(NIMR) and joined World Federation for Culture Collections (WFCC) in the mid 80s last century. CMCC set up specialized laboratories for leptospirosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa etc.
The center now has collected 79 genera, 475 species, 10,202 strains and more than 230,000 copies of reference bacteria (viruses), covering almost all the strains for production and quality control of vaccines and other biological products. The center undertakes 1) research, collection, identification, preservation, distribution and management of medical bacteria; 2) technical reviewing the quality standards of the stains for production and quality control; 3) research and calibration of bacteria standards; 4) technique development and training on bacteria preservation.
CMCC serves reference bacteria for centers for disease control, medical research /teaching/training institutes, food/pharmaceutical/biological products manufactures or quality controllers.
CMCC provides more than 10,000 copies of strains for more than 500 organizations in more than 1,000 times each year for the purpose of research, teaching, quality control and production.
