Databases developed till now for studying human– Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) host–pathogen interactions are scarce and pertain to specific strains of pathogen. Therefore, in the present study, a database (Mtb-HID) has been developed to serve as a unified host–pathogen interaction platform with information on interaction between various strains of MTB and humans. Mtb-HID is different from other databases since it houses information about multiple strains and is an extensive integrated repository of experimental host–pathogen protein–protein interaction (HP-PPIs) data imported from various public databases and derived from interolog-based HP-PPIs. Currently, Mtb-HID hosts records of interaction between five MTB strains and human host. It is freely accessible at http://www.pantlab.co.in/mtb-hid/.
