VFDB

VFDB is a database that tracks virulence factors in bacterial pathogens. It allows scientists to browse and search for known virulence factors in bacteria using genus names or keywords. The database contains information on virulence factors extracted from GenBank for 16 major bacterial pathogens. VFDB aims to provide up-to-date annotations of virulence factors using tools like COG and information from NCBI.
