Species specific typing

Species specific typing

Summary

All sylph-identified genomes from AllTheBacteria 0.2 and incremental release 2024-08 were typed using various tools

For standard MLST queries across the aggregated ATB metadata up to and including 2025-05, use atb mlst:

atb fetch

# Get MLST calls for high-quality E. coli genomes
atb mlst --species "Escherichia coli" --hq-only --limit 20

# Find a sequence type
atb mlst --species "Escherichia coli" --st 131 --hq-only

# Query by scheme
atb mlst --scheme salmonella --limit 50

# Download matching assemblies
atb mlst --species "Escherichia coli" --st 131 --download -d ./st131

The sections below describe species-specific typing analyses that go beyond the standard MLST table, such as capsule, toxin, serotype, and lineage tools.

Bacillus cereus group spp.

  • BTyper3 v3.4.0 (Standardized taxonomic classification and sequence typing, detection of virulence and Bt toxin-encoding genes)
  • Result files are available on OSF in the Bacillus_cereus_group component.

Bordetella pertussis

Corynebacterium diphtherieae

Haemophilus spp.

Klebsiella spp.

  • Kleborate v2.3.2 (MLST, virulence, capsule, antimicrobial resistance)

Legionella pneumophila

Mycobacterium tuberculosis

  • TBProfiler v6.2.1 (spoligotyping, lineage, antimicrobial resistance)

Neisseria gonorrhoeae

  • pyngoST v1.1.2 (MLST, NG-MAST, NG-STAR, penA)

Neisseria meingitidis

  • meningotype v0.8.5 (MLST, serotype, Finetype, Bexsero antigen typing, MenDeVAR Index)

Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS)

Streptococcus pneumoniae

Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS)
