This paper presents an update on the content, accessibility and analytical tools of the EnteroBase platform for web-based pathogen genome analysis. EnteroBase provides manually curated databases of genome sequence data and associated metadata from currently >1.1 million bacterial isolates, more recently including Streptococcus spp. and Mycobacterium tuberculosis . We have implemented the genome-based detection of antimicrobial resistance determinants and the new bubble plot graphical tool for visualising bacterial genomic population structures, based on pre-computed hierarchical clusters. Access to data and analysis tools is provided through an enhanced graphical user interface and a new application programming interface (RESTful API). EnteroBase is now being developed and operated by an international consortium, to accelerate the development of the platform and ensure the longevity of the resources built. EnteroBase can be accessed at https://enterobase.warwick.ac.uk as well as https://enterobase.dsmz.de .
