The MLST scheme hosted in this database is described in Xiao et al. 2012 Appl Environ Microbiol 78:7060-8. The cgMLST scheme is described in a dissertation by Abdel-Glil 2020 (http://dx.doi.org/10.17169/refubium-26342).

We are looking for new curators for this database. If you use this database regularly and would like to assist in the curation effort, please contact keith.jolleyzoo.ox.ac.uk (Keith Jolley). Please see the brief overview of the role of a curator for more details of the role.

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.
