Abstract
This www.Mbovis.org website and associated databases were initiated in response to the need of the Mycobacterium bovis molecular typing community for standardisation of nomenclature for spoligotype patterns. The purpose of the website is to provide standardised names for spoligotype patterns from strains of the RD9-deleted, lineage of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. Each unique spoligotype pattern is named by 'SB' followed by a four integer number (e.g. SB0120) and the database currently records over 1400 patterns submitted by the research community over the last 9 years. The database holds information and authoritative names for spoligotype patterns from both clades of Mycobacterium africanum, M. bovis (antelope), Mycobacterium microti, Mycobacterium pinnipedii, Mycobacterium caprae and M. bovis. The history of the database is described, as well as the method for submitting new patterns to the database and the functionality of the website. CrownEntities:
