The Pseudomonas Genome Database (PGDB) is a comprehensive online resource aimed at facilitating research into Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a notable pathogen associated with antibiotic resistance and various infections. Initially developed in 1998 during the PAO1 sequencing project by Chiron Corporation, the database is now managed by a collaborative team from Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia. PGDB provides advanced tools for genetic research, including BLAST and DIAMOND searches for nucleotide and protein sequences, allowing researchers to retrieve and compare genomic data with ease.

Users can explore a range of annotations, from antimicrobial resistance gene predictions to functional domain mappings, supporting the search for potential drug targets and vaccine candidates. The database continually evolves, providing updated features to enhance the discovery process, thanks to contributions from leading scientists like Dr. Fiona Brinkman and Dr.

Robert E. W. Hancock.

With robust support from organizations such as the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, PGDB is an invaluable asset for researchers in the field
