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.
