Pathogenic microorganism is an important national strategic resource, whose value is embodied in the physical object and its corresponding information and data resources. At present, China has basically completed the designation of national and provincial preservation centers and professional laboratories, and various preservation institutions have been put into operation and begun to play its role of preservation institutions. In order to standardize the data management of pathogenic microorganism preservation and improve the quality of pathogenic microorganism resources, China CDC took the lead in formulating and issuing the community standard of Chinese Preventive Medicine Association, the (T/CPMA 011-2020). The standard puts forward the data fields and description principles of microorganism strain, including general data such as number, name, separation, hazard classification, transmission route, pathogenicity, and characteristic data such as virus, bacteria and fungi. The core of pathogenic microorganism resources lies in quality and the foundation lies in standards. Taking data standards as the starting point, it will play an important supporting role in promoting the transformation of pathogenic microorganism preservation work to quality improvement, improving resource sharing and utilization, and leading the sustainable development of preservation work.
