+_diphtOscan_ is a tool to search genomic assemblies of _Corynebacterium diphtheriae_ and other species of the _Corynebacterium diphtheriae_ species complex (CdSC) for:
+* Species (e.g. _C. diphtheriae_, _C. ulcerans_, _C. pseudotuberculosis_, _C. belfantii_, _C. rouxii_ and _C. silvaticum_)
+* Biovar-associated genes (_spuA_, nitrate reductase gene cluster)
 * MLST sequence type
-* species (e.g. K. pneumoniae, K. quasipneumoniae, K. variicola, etc.)
-* virulence factors
-* antimicrobial resistance determinants: acquired genes and SNPs
-* typing _tox_ gene 
-* get genomic context
+* Virulence factors, including _tox_ gene detection and disruption prediction
+* Antimicrobial resistance determinants: acquired genes (_ermX_, _pbp2m_, …) and SNPs (e.g., _rpoB_, _gyrA_)
+* Genomic context of genomic features associated with resistance
+* Presence of integrons
