#Kaptive analysis for surface polysaccharide typing is now available within the @pubmlst.org Acinetobacter database. 👇

Output from Kaptive analysis shown in a BIGSdb isolate record. Tabular results are shown followed by a graphical representation of the genes within the locus analysed.

BIGSdb v1.51.4 has been released. This adds a new #Kaptive plugin for surface polysaccharide typing of Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella. github.com/kjolley/BIGS... for details. Kaptive is developed by @tomstantonmicro.bsky.social, @kelwyres.bsky.social , @katholt.bsky.social and colleagues.

Lastly, we'd like to thank YOU, the Kaptive community, for guiding development, spotting bugs and collaborating with us!

But this is just the beginning, we have lots of exciting things in store for the future of Kaptive to make in silico serotyping even better!
