Body: <p>I have a list of about 900 E.coli genome ids (Genbank plus NCTC ids), e.g.:</p>

  CP027445.1
  CP027325.1
  CP027219.1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and I would like to find pathogenicity metadata for them so that I can classify the molecular data I found with the metadata.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to get a table of metadata from these genomes that I can use to associate with my molecular data?</p>
  
  <p>NOTES:</p>
  
  <p>After some searching online, I found Enterobase (<a href="http://enterobase.warwick.ac.uk" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://enterobase.warwick.ac.uk</a>), but it seems the site is mostly dedicated to MLST typing, thus they use different naming conventions than the Genbank id.

  <p>It seems like Enterobase contains project ids, e.g. PRJNA218110. These project ids can also be found on the other side in the GenBank entries, for which we could associate the GenBank chromosomal ids.</p>
  
  <p>Searching for PRJNA218110 in Enterobase gives a very long list of entries that seem to be from Illumina sequencing data, but in this list, the 'Path/Nonpath' column is always empty.</p>
  
  <p>Enterobase seems to contain lots of entries with useful information, such as: the strain is pathogenic, and produced diarrhea in humans. So a table with entries like the one below would be very useful:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Genbank_id: CPXXXXXXX.1
  Path/Nonpath: Pathogenic
  Disease: Diarrhea
  
  Genbank_id: CPYYYYYYY.1
  Path/Nonpath: Nonpathogenic
  Disease: NA
  </code></pre>

Comments.Text: What kind of data, exactly? `CP027459.1` is an entire genome. Are you trying to see if this strain is a pathogen? If so, for what species? Are you instead trying to see if mutations in this genome can be pathogenic for the bacterium? Please [edit] and clarify what you're after.

Comments.Text: Thanks! So you are looking for information on which of these bacteria are pathogens in humans? Humans only or do you also want pathogenicity information on any species?

Title: where to find pathogenicity metadata for E.coli genomes
ThreadText: # where to find pathogenicity metadata for E.coli genomes
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2019-10-09)
  
  I have a list of about 900 E.coli genome ids (Genbank plus NCTC ids), e.g.:
  
  ```
  NCTC8196_1
  NCTC11105_1
  CP027464.1
  CP027459.1
  CP027363.1
  CP027388.1
  CP027355.1
  CP027675.1
  CP027445.1
  CP027325.1
  CP027219.1
  
  ```
  
  and I would like to find pathogenicity metadata for them so that I can classify the molecular data I found with the metadata.
  
  Is there a way to get a table of metadata from these genomes that I can use to associate with my molecular data?

  you can use BacDive. This is the largest database for bacterial metadata.:
  <https://bacdive.dsmz.de/>
  e.g. you can search for the sequence accession "NCTC8196" and you would get the metadata of the according strain:
  <https://bacdive.dsmz.de/search?search=NCTC8196>
  
  What kind of data is available, is highly dependent on the strain. Usually type strains are more rich on data that others.
