Download Resistance Database
The Download Resistance Database tool can download databases for the Find Resistance with Nucleotide DB, Find Resistance with PointFinder and Find Resistance with ShortBRED tools.
To run the tool, go to:
Databases (
) | Drug Resistance Analysis | Download Resistance Database (
)
The following databases are available (figure 20.1):

ShortBRED Marker Databases
These databases can be used with the Find Resistance with ShortBRED tool. The databases are marker databases, containing peptide fragments that uniquely characterize sets of similar proteins, rather than a specific gene.
- QMI-AR: The QIAGEN Microbial Insight - Antimicrobial Resistance database is a curated database containing peptide markers derived from the following source databases: CARD (https://card.mcmaster.ca/), ARG-ANNOT (http://backup.mediterranee-infection.com/article.php?laref=282&titre=arg-annot), NCBI Bacterial Antimicrobial Resistance Reference Gene Database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/PRJNA313047), ResFinder (https://bitbucket.org/genomicepidemiology/resfinder_db/src/master/).
- CARD: This database contains peptide markers derived from the Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database (CARD) (https://card.mcmaster.ca/).
- ARG-ANNOT: This database contains a set of protein marker sequences based on the ARG-ANNOT database.
Nucleotide Databases
These databases can be used with the Find Resistance with Nucleotide DB tool. The databases contain full nucleotide gene sequences.
- QMI-AR: The QIAGEN Microbial Insight - Antimicrobial Resistance database is a curated database containing nucleotide sequences compiled from the following source databases: CARD (https://card.mcmaster.ca/), ARG-ANNOT (http://backup.mediterranee-infection.com/article.php?laref=282&titre=arg-annot), NCBI Bacterial Antimicrobial Resistance Reference Gene Database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/PRJNA313047), ResFinder (https://bitbucket.org/genomicepidemiology/resfinder_db/src/master/).
- VFDB: This database contains nucleotide sequences compiled from the Virulence Factor database, core dataset (http://www.mgc.ac.cn/VFs/download.htm).
- CARD: This database contains nucleotide sequences compiled from the Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database (CARD) (https://card.mcmaster.ca/).
- ResFinder (DNA): The output is a sequence list with modifiable metadata relating the sequences to drug resistance information (see https://cge.cbs.dtu.dk/services/data.php). In the table view, users can review and customize the metadata associated with the sequences.
Point Mutation Databases
These databases are used with the Find Resistance with PointFinder tool. The databases contain information about mutations in genes.
- PointFinder: This database contains wild type genes and known resistance conferring mutations for 5 organisms (figure 20.2). The database source can be found here: https://bitbucket.org/genomicepidemiology/.
