This MLST scheme was developed by DOBIEyuhs.ac (Song Yee Kim) and colleagues at the Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea. It is described in Kim et al. 2013 Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis 77:143-9.

Database curated by mdiricksfz-borstel.de (Margo Diricks).

The separate scheme for M. massiliense has been removed since this was leading to confusion with the M. abscessus scheme as they used the same loci with different allele numbers. Allele and profile definitions for the legacy M. massiliense scheme are available for download here.

Typing

The typing database contains nomenclature - allele definitions that provide an identifier for every unique allele sequence, and MLST profiles that index each unique combination of alleles with a sequence type (ST).

Isolate collection

The isolate database consists of isolate records containing provenance and phenotype information linked to molecular typing information. These records may also include genome assemblies.

Genome collection

A subset of records within the isolate database may contain genomes assemblies. You can access these from the isolate database by filtering on sequence bin size in a query.
