Streptococcus agalactiae (group B streptococcus, GBS) MLST Databases

The Streptococcus agalactiae MLST website contains two linked databases - one for allelic profiles and sequences, the other for isolate information. This structure offers advantages over a single database system. Further details can be found here.

The use of this database is subject to the terms of the policy document and it should be acknowledged in all publications that make use of it. The preferred format for the acknowledgement can be found in the right-hand sidebar.

This MLST scheme was developed by Nicola Jones (Nuffield Department of Clinical Laboratory Services, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, UK) in the laboratory of Brian Spratt (now at the Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College, London, UK) together with Derrick Crook (Nuffield Department of Clinical Laboratory Sciences, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, UK) and Man-Suen Chan.

Website and database managed by Keith Jolley, curated by Nicola Jones. The primary Streptococcus agalactiae MLST website is hosted at The Peter Medawar Building for Pathogen Research, University of Oxford, UK.
