These databases host two separate P. multocida MLST schemes.
This scheme covers isolates from various hosts, including cattle, sheep, pigs and birds. It was developed to investigate evolutionary relationships of isolates from different host species. Developed by Robert Davies (University of Glasgow, UK).
This scheme was developed initially to investigate avian isolates. Developed by Sounthi Subaaharan and Pat Blackall (Animal Research Institute, Australia). Original funding was provided by the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation (RIRDC).
