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).

Allele sequences:
78,391

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.

Isolates:
4,096
Last updated:

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.

Genomes:
524
