Figure 3. Schematic representation of a system to catalog select agent microbial collections.

Figure 3

Examples are shown of unclassified compliance systems dedicated to storing unclassified or “for official use only” (FOUO) biological threat information, as well as descriptions of research institutions, groups, or individuals accessing specific biological agents. There is an effort to create a global standard for reporting microbial collections which would include analytical and technological capabilities that can be reported under BTWC treaties.
