Institut Pasteur MLST databases and software

This page provides access to genotypic data for isolates of the Corynebacterium diphtheriae species complex (including C. ulcerans, C. pseudotuberculosis, C. belfantii, C. rouxii and C. silvaticum) based on Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST), and based on core genome MLST (cgMLST) for C. diphtheriae and C. ulcerans. See references for more details.

Since January 2022, 7-gene MLST alleles and profiles will be defined in this database, as the corresponding PubMLST diphtheria database has been closed.

The BIGSdb website Policy concerning the platform & data use agreement and the privacy notice of BIGSdb-Pasteur was updated on March 25, 2024. Please consult it before using the platform and the data. If any questions, contact us.

Alleles & profiles database

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).

Isolates & genomes database

The isolate database consists of isolate records containing provenance and phenotype information linked to molecular typing information. These records may also include genome assemblies.
