Drug Resistance Analysis

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) - bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites that no longer respond to drugs commonly used to treat infections - poses a threat to human and animal health worldwide. By identifying resistance genes and markers from sequencing data, antimicrobial resistance detection aims to provide critical information about the resistance of microbial species to various antimicrobial drugs and to help monitor the spread of resistant pathogens.

Find Resistance with ShortBRED and Find Resistance with PointFinder facilitates detection of antimicrobial resistances directly from sequencing reads. The tools look for gene families and resistance conferring mutations, respectively.

Find Resistance with Nucleotide Database identifies AMR genes from contigs.
