| 2007-01-05 | A MLSA scheme for Borrelia burgdorferi is now available. This is not strictly a MLST scheme as it uses some non-housekeeping genes for pan-genus taxonomy. The scheme was developed by Danièle Postic, Martine Garnier and Guy Baranton (Pasteur Institute, Paris, France). |
| 2006-12-15 | A Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) Application Programming Interface (API) has been developed to enable software developers to write applications that can query the MLST databases directly without using the standard web interface. |

| 2006-06-29 | It is now possible to select which fields you would like displayed in the main results table following an isolate search. Selections can be made from the 'options' page of the database. |
| 2006-06-21 | The Aspergillus fumigatus MLST scheme is available. This has been developed by Frank Odds at the University of Aberdeen, UK. |

| 2006-01-04 | New functionality has been added to the profiles databases. Using the 'locus explorer' you can now investigate polymorphic sites and, for haploid schemes, codon usage, GC content and translated sequences for each of the loci of a scheme. |
| 2005-10-13 | We now have a mirror site in the United States (University of Pittsburgh). This mirror can be accessed at usmirror1.pubmlst.org. We are very grateful to Kathleen Shutt for setting this up and to Lee Harrison for agreeing to host the site. |

| 2005-09-12 | The Burkholderia cepacia complex MLST website is now available. The scheme was developed by Adam Baldwin in the laboratory of Chris Dowson (Warwick University, UK), in close collaboration with Esh Mahenthiralingam (Cardiff University, UK). |
| 2005-07-19 | The Bordetella MLST profiles database has gone live. This scheme was developed by Dimitri Diavatopoulos and Frits Mooi at the RIVM, Netherlands. |
