Mycobacterial Antibiograms
Providing mycobacterial antibiogram data
As part of a multi-agency collaboration, NCBI is collecting antimicrobial susceptibility and resistance data derived from drug resistant pathogens. This information is submitted as an antibiogram table on BioSample records. Submission of antibiogram data is not required, but highly encouraged if you have this information available. This page specifies requirements for mycobacterial antibiograms (non-MIC). Alternatively, this page specifies standard antibiogram (MIC) requirements. Both types of antibiogram can be supplied for mycobacterial BioSamples.
Antibiogram data can be submitted in two ways:
- Through the BioSample Submission Portal as part of a Pathogen package batch submission. Antibiogram data are submitted on the ‘Attributes’ tab.
- If the BioSamples have already been created, please email corresponding antibiogram data to biosamplehelp@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov and curators will update the records.

Antibiogram data are subject to content validation, including antibiotic names (see below). If the error reports are not clear, please write to biosamplehelp@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov for assistance.
Mandatory Fields
Provide either the 'sample name' you assigned to your BioSample, or the BioSample accession number.
The complete list of recognized antibiotics is provided at the foot of this page.
