Last updated 7 months ago

About Kaptive

The Kaptive software from Lam et al provides assignment of locus types for surface polysaccharide loci for both the Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex and Acinetobacter baumanii.

The assigned type and confidence are shown in the individual and the in the . Detailed CSV format files for Kaptive can be downloaded from the Genome List view.

Kaptive is also run as part of Kleborate for the K. pneumoniae species complex. The results displayed on the website are taken directly from Kaptive, along with the complete output in the CSV. The Kleborate CSV download includes the output from it's own Kaptive search.
