The MLST scheme hosted in this database was developed by Andrew Dodgson in the laboratories of David Denning (University of Manchester, UK) and David Soll (University of Iowa, USA). It is described in Dodgson et al. 2003. J Clin Microbiol41:5709-17.
Database curated by obadergwdg.de (Oliver Bader) (Institute of Medical Microbiology, University Medical Center Göttingen, Göttingen, Germany). The contents of the database as of 2019 are briefly described in Gabaldón et al. 2020 Mycopathologia [online ahead of print], as are the correlations of MLST to MLP and whole-genome sequencing data for this species.
We have had to make some nomenclature changes to previously assigned STs. Please see the timeline of changes for full details.
