This database hosts three Leptospira MLST schemes.

MLST scheme#1 is described in Boonsilp et al. 2013 PLoS Negl Trop Dis 7:e1954 and is curated by janjiraattropmedres.ac (Janjira Thaipadungpanit).

MLST scheme#2 is described in Varni et al. 2014 Infect Genet Ecol 22:216-22 and is curated by pruybalatgmail.com (Paula Ruybal).

MLST scheme#3 is described in Ahmed et al. 2006 Ann Clin Microbiol Antimicrob 23:28 and is curated by kishore.nsavatgmail.com (Kishore Nalam).

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:
218,741

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:
1,797

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:
770
