The project is a Research and Innovation Action, its funding originates from the H2020-EU.3.7.5. – Increase Europe’s resilience to crises and disasters budget line, topic : SU-DRS04-2019-2020 – Chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) […]

Antibiotic resistance is one of the most serious threats to global health. The consequences for human health are particularly severe in low-resource countries, and in Africa in particular. The SARA project is funded by […]

The Microbial Resource Research Infrastructure (MIRRI) is the pan-European distributed Research Infrastructure for the preservation, systematic investigation, provision and valorisation of microbial resources and biodiversity. It currently brings together 50+ microbial domain Biological Resource […]

IS_MIRRI21 commenced in February 2020, which was officialised by the successful Kick-Off Meeting conducted on the 25th and 26th of March, 2020 under the coordination of University of Minho (UMINHO) from Portugal. This European […]

This project intends to share expertise, developments, equipement and bioinformatics tools to apply Oxford Nanopore Technology sequencing to the detection, diagnostic and characterization of pathogens of public health importance. It corresponds to a collaboration […]

Join us on Google groups! KlebNET e-mail distribution list on Google groups. Please ask for registration, by explaining your interest in Klebsiella research or surveillance and providing your institution, so that the moderators can […]

Our research on Bordetella ranges from the population biology and epidemiology of various Bordetella species, including Bordetella pertussis (the major agent of whooping cough), to studies of host-pathogen relationships and immunity. Current research lines […]

Our research on Corynebacterium diphtheriae and related bacterial pathogenic species, including Corynebacterium ulcerans,  aims at defining the diversity, evolution and epidemiology of the agents of diphtheria and related infections. We study human and animal clinical […]

Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the most urgent threats to public health given its increasing resistance to antimicrobial agents including carbapenems, considered as last-resort antibiotics.  In this project we aim to understand the ecological, epidemiological and […]

High-throughput sequencing has revolutionized our abilities to track and characterize novel bacterial strains as they emerge and disseminate globally. Genome-based epidemiological typing systems provide ultimate resolution for strain discrimination. Genome sequences may also be […]

The Institut Pasteur has voluminous activities of microbial strain characterisation, in the context of epidemiological surveillance, biological resource centres collections management, and research. These activities involve National Reference Centers, WHO-collaborative centers, biological resources centers […]

Contaminant oligonucleotide sequences such as primers and adapters can occur in both ends oƒ high-throughput sequencing (HTS) reads. AlienTrimmer was developed in order to detect and remove such contaminants. ßased on the decomposition oƒ […]

The genomic and nomenclature databases of strains of pathogenic bacterial species are available through the Institut Pasteur BIGSdb portal: http://bigsdb.pasteur.fr. The portal is powered by the Bacterial Isolates Genome Sequence DataBase (BIGSdb) tool developed […]
