In an attempt to bring some conceptual order
to the otherwise daunting array of medically important microbes,
we have constructed a database of some of the most relevant pathogens,
which links the pathogen name to key features of the organism
such as disease, pathology, and morphological characteristics.
These can be dynamically sorted by category and linked to cases
and multimedia resources. As a first pass, for review,
they are displayed as static pre-sorted tables.
For the database-savvy, there is also a complete mySQL "dump",
as well as a "cvs" and "xls" file,
which can be read and sorted locally by your favorite spreadsheet.
Feedback and suggestions welcome to
Robin Colgrove.
Also, a brief essay describing the rationale for and the use of the database is
here.
Here are the tables, sorted:
By Name.
By Disease.
By Morphology.
By Pathology.
And here is the full dataset as a
mySQL dump,
The table alone as a CSV file,
And as an Excel file.
