The BIGSdb website is implementing new settings regarding data access. Data curated in 2025 (and later) will not be accessible for anonymous (non-logged-in users). If you wish to have access to data curated in 2025 and beyond, please register on the platform and login when using it. Note that access via the application programming interface (API) will also require authentication to access recent data (API authentication help link).
To ensure a smooth transition, anonymous data access will be periodically closed and opened from 1st October 2024 until the end of the year. For detailed planning, please follow this link.
On 1st January 2025, registration will be permanently mandatory to access data curated after the 31st of December 2024.
Please contact us if you have any questions.

Please fill the box with your complete details using proper first letter capitalization of names and full affiliation details, i.e. department, institution, country (avoiding acronyms). This information will appear with any data that you submit.
After registation, a random password will be generated and sent to the provided E-mail address. You must log in to the site within 60 minutes using this password. You will then be required to change this password and log in again.
Register to specific databases
The site-wide accounts allow you to log in to databases across the site for the purposes of data submission or for accessing protected resources. Once you are logged in, you will need to register your account with a database if you wish to submit data to it via the automated submission system; or you wish to customise its interface or output; or if it is password-protected.
To register for specific databases please follow the link below:
Site-wide account settings page
