PHI-base -- the pathogen host interaction database

URL:

What you can do:

Search for expertly curated molecular and biological information on genes proven to affect the outcome of pathogen-host interactions.

Highlights:

The pathogen-host interaction database (PHI-base) is a web-accessible database that catalogues experimentally verified pathogenicity, virulence and effector genes from bacterial, fungal and Oomycete pathogens, which infect human, animal, plant, insect, fish and fungal hosts.
Plant endophytes are also included.
PHI-base is therefore an invaluable resource for the discovery of genes in medically and agronomically important pathogens, which may be potential targets for chemical intervention.
The database is freely accessible to both academic and non-academic users.
Important additional fields deal with new experimental methods, strain information, pathogenicity islands and external references that link the database to external resources, for example, gene ontology terms and Locus IDs.
Another important addition is the inclusion of anti-infectives and their target genes that makes it possible to predict the compounds, that may interact with newly identified virulence factors.
