Amrfinderplus
Description
NCBI has developed AMRFinderPlus, a tool that identifies AMR genes, resistance-associated point mutations, and select other classes of genes using protein annotations and/or assembled nucleotide sequence. AMRFinderPlus is used in the Pathogen Detection pipeline, and these data are displayed in NCBI’s Isolate Browser. AMRFinderPlus relies on NCBI’s curated Reference Gene Database and curated collection of Hidden Markov Models. For more information on how AMRFinderPlus operates, please see the Methods section of the AMRFinderPlus documentation. See our documentation for a description of all our NCBI antimicrobial resistance resources.
