+# stxtyper container
+
+Main tool: [stxtyper](https://github.com/ncbi/stxtyper)
+
+Additional tools:
+
+- ncbi-blast+ 2.12.0
+
+Basic information on how to use this tool:
+
+- executable: `stxtyper`
+- help: `stxtyper --help`
+- version: `stxtyper --version`
+- description: Detects and types Shiga toxin genes in nucleotide sequences
+
+Full documentation: [https://github.com/ncbi/stxtyper](https://github.com/ncbi/stxtyper)
+
+Note: [This software is now incorporated into NCBI's AMRFinderPlus software as of version 4.0.3](https://github.com/ncbi/amr/releases/tag/amrfinder_v4.0.3). Stxtyper will run under-the-hood of AMRFinderPlus when using the `amrfinder --organism Escherichia` option.
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```bash
+# stxtyper accepts both gzipped and uncompressed FASTA files
+stxtyper -n GCA_012224845.2_ASM1222484v2_genomic.fna.gz -o stxtyper-results.tsv
+
+$ column -t test-result.tsv
