Welcome to BIGSdb-Pasteur, the genomic-based strain taxonomy and nomenclature platform of Institut Pasteur, powered by the BIGSdb software developed at Oxford University. This web platform hosts collections of curated, open or private databases of bacterial isolates, genomes and genotypes based on multilocus sequence typing (MLST), whole genome based typing and supplementary schemes (in particular, antimicrobial resistance or virulence genes). Data can be accessed either via the web interface or via the application programming interface.

Data access policy: since January 1st, 2025, registration and authentication are mandatory to access all data curated after this date. Data should not be redistributed. Data access for commercial purposes is subject to restrictions. Please see the BIGSdb-Pasteur policy for details.
