Unfortunately, the most ready-made tools for serotype determination are limited to genome E. Coli only. However, there is a problem due to the low accuracy of Рћ-antigen cluster identification in the genome. Pipeline, which was created due the work, solves this problem and can be used to find and annotate a cluster of genes in genome of the most gram-negative bacteria.
