The BIGSdb website is implementing new settings regarding data access. Data curated in 2025 (and later) will not be accessible for anonymous (non-logged-in users). If you wish to have access to data curated in 2025 and beyond, please register on the platform and login when using it. Note that access via the application programming interface (API) will also require authentication to access recent data (API authentication help link).
To ensure a smooth transition, anonymous data access will be periodically closed and opened from 1st October 2024 until the end of the year. For detailed planning, please follow this link.
On 1st January 2025, registration will be permanently mandatory to access data curated after the 31st of December 2024.
Please contact us if you have any questions.
Primers used for MLST of Bordetella
Genes
The Bordetella MLST scheme uses internal fragments of the following seven housekeeping genes:
adk (Adenylate kinase)
fumC (fumarate hydratase class II)
glyA (serine hydroxymethyltransferase)
tyrB (aromatic amino-acid aminotransferase)
icd (isocitrate dehyrogenase)
pepA (cytosol aminopeptidase)
pgm (phosphoglucomutase)
PCR amplification
The PCR conditions were optimized using HotStar Taq mastermix (Qiagen) and 1M betaine final concentration. The cycling conditions were as follows:
- 1 cycle:
- 95°C for 15 min
- 30 cycles:
- 95°C for 30 s
- 54°C for 30 s
- 1 cycle:
- 72°C for 1 min
