Just out ! A novel version of diphtOscan is available at https://gitlab.pasteur.fr/BEBP/diphtoscan. It is easier to install and to use on local computers.

diphtOscan scans genomes of the Corynebacterium diphtheriae species complex and extracts information used for clinical and public health management, including diphtheria toxin and antimicrobial resistance genes, biovar, species and subtyping information. This release also supports authenticated access to BIGSdb-Pasteur’s diphtheria source database, ensuring access to the most recent genotype nomenclature.

<![CDATA[Genomic library of Bordetella]]> https://bigsdb.pasteur.fr/news/bordetella-library/ https://bigsdb.pasteur.fr/news/bordetella-library/ Fri, 21 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT

Genomic library of Bordetella - Bridel et al. preprint has been published in biorXiv!

A unified library of Bordetella genomes has been set-up by merging previously existing Oxford and Pasteur databases, importing genomes from public repositories, and developing harmonized genotyping schemes. A genus-wide cgMLST genotyping scheme was developed and 18 putative novel species found. Specific schemes were developed to define antigenic, virulence and macrolide resistance profiles.

Access the Bordetella genomic library at https://bigsdb.pasteur.fr/bordetella/

The genomic platform provides an expandable resource for unified genotyping of Bordetella strains and will hopefully facilitate collective evolutionary and epidemiological understanding of the reemergence of whooping cough and other Bordetella infections.

A dual barcoding approach to bacterial strain nomenclature: Genomic taxonomy of Klebsiella pneumoniae - Hennart et al. preprint has been published on bioRxiv!

A proposal to build genomic taxonomies of bacterial strains using a dual approach combining single linkage clustering and life identification numbers into a single cgMLST-based multilevel classification system.

Here, the 634-loci strict core genome MLST (scgMLSTv1) initially identified in Bialek-Davenet et al, 2014 was reassessed, and an improved cgMLST scheme of 629-loci (scgMLST629_S) for K. pneumoniae Species Complex genotyping was provided.

This Hennart et al. 629-loci cgMLST scheme has been incorporated into the BIGSdb-Klebsiella nomenclature server.
