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 janjiratropmedres.ac (Janjira Thaipadungpanit).

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

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

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.
