Listeria monocytogenes MLST Databases

The Listeria monocytogenes MLST website contains two linked databases - one for allelic profiles and sequences, the other for isolate information. This structure offers advantages over a single database system. Further details can be found here.

Please note that there is another database for Listeria monocytogenes MLST, hosted at the Pasteur Institute, Paris. We are planning to consolidate the schemes in the near future. In the meantime, it is recommended that submissions are made to the Pasteur database.
