What you can do:
Search for documented and predicted Pathogenicity islands (PAIs).
Highlights:
  • The pathogenicity island database (PAIDB) is a comprehensive relational database of all the reported PAIs and potential PAI regions which were predicted by a method that combines feature-based analysis and similarity-based analysis of prokaryotic complete genomes.
  • As of April 2006, PAIDB contains 112 types of PAIs and 889 GenBank accessions containing either partial or all PAI loci previously reported in the literature, which are present in 497 strains of pathogenic bacteria.
  • The database also offers 310 candidate PAIs predicted from 118 sequenced prokaryotic genomes.
