About

ECTyper is a bioinformatics tool specifically designed for serotyping of Escherichia coli. It efficiently determines both O-serogroup and H-serotype by analysing genetic loci associated with these antigens. The ECTyper tool does not take K antigen into account.

Method

For full details on the ECTyper method see the software repository: .
