Please note that three distinct MLST schemes (using distinct sets of genes) exist for E. coli: Institut Pasteur's MLST scheme (this site), Mark Achtman's MLST scheme (mlst.ucc.ie) and T. Whittam's MLST scheme (www.shigatox.net). A comparaison study is ongoing to establish correspondence between the two former MLST schemes.

The Escherichia coli 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.

Access to Profiles database December 20th, 2011 Please note that the following STs were removed from the profiles database due to incomplete profiles: ST 453 to 457, 465, 466, 487, 488, 492 (dinB allele was missing), ST461, 462, 485 (pabB allele was missing), ST230 (polB allele was missing), ST 458 to 460 (putP allele was missing), ST 449 to 452 (trpA allele was missing), ST 292, 448, 475, 476, 484, 486, 489, 501 (uidA allele was missing).

This MLST scheme was developped by S. Brisse in collaboration with Erick Denamur's team.
