Studies of various diversified bacterial lectins/ lectin data may serve as a tool with enormous promise to help biotechnologists/ geneticists in their innovative technology to explore a deeper understanding in proteomics/ genomics research for finding the molecular basis of infectious diseases and also to new approaches for their prevention and in development of new bacterial vaccines. Hence we developed a bacterial lectin database named `BacterialLectinDb’. An organized database schema for BacterialLectinDb was designed to collate all the available information about all bacterial lectins as a central repository. The database was designed using HTML, XML.
