VFDB also known as Virulence Factor Database is a database that provides scientist quick access to virulence factors in bacterial pathogens.[1] It can be navigated and browsed using genus or words. A BLAST tool is provided for search against known virulence factors.[2] VFDB contains a collection of 16 important bacterial pathogens.[1] Perl scripts were used to extract positions and sequences of VF from GenBank.[3] Clusters of Orthologous Groups (COG) was used to update incomplete annotations.[1] More information was obtained by NCBI. VFDB was built on Linux operation systems on DELL PowerEdge 1600SC servers.[citation needed]
