Klebsiella/Raoultella rMLST Nucleotide Identity (rMLST-NI) Scan

  • The input genome is scanned against the DNA sequences of rMLST loci found in the 17 Klebsiella/Raoultella type strains using BLASTN.
  • A 'local' nucleotide identity between the query genome and each type strain is calculated across all rMLST loci in the rMLST profile (excludes paralogous loci).
  • Nucleotide identity thresholds for each type strain have been empirically determined from rMLST-NI scans between a dataset of Klebsiella/Raoultella representative isolates with verified species annotations.
  • For each type strain, threshold A is the lowest value observed for any member of the same species and threshold B is the highest value observed for any member of a different species.
  • This translates into three species confidence categories as follows:
    • High Species Confidence (Green) = Observed rMLST-NI is typical of isolates with the same species (above threshold A).
    • Intermediate Species Confidence (Amber) = Observed rMLST-NI is outside the range currently observed for this species (between threshold A and B). This could be a distant member of this species or a new species that is not present in the current library.
    • Low Species Confidence (Red) = Observed rMLST-NI is well outside the range currently observed for this species (below threshold B).
