This is a tool that is used to identify differentiate Shigella/EIEC using cluster-specific genes and identify the serotype using O-antigen/H-antigen genes. This pipeline can serotype over 59 Shigella and 22 EIEC serotypes using either assembled whole genomes or Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) reads. The results are output in a tabular format which if saved as a file can be opened in Excel or other tabular programs.

Example Usage
