Hello everyone out there.

I am doing an epidemiological study of clostridium difficile. I am using eBURST program to assign MLST STs to clonal groups or complexes. The program has assigned them to  3 groups. I just pasted the STs into the online program and then it yielded the information i am using. However, i am wondering if actually it makes sense for a program to assign STs to groups based on numbers i pasted into it. Additionally, are these groups having internationally accepted names or nomenclature?

Thank you for the response
