This database hosts two MLST schemes. The first is described in Bartual et al. 2005 J Clin Microbiol 43:4382-4390. This is commonly referred to as the 'Oxford' scheme because it was hosted on the PubMLST site at the University of Oxford.

The second scheme is described in Diancourt et al. 2010 PLoS One 7:e10034. This is commonly referred to as the 'Pasteur' scheme in order to differentiate it from the 'Oxford' scheme.

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.
