| Database [curator] | Traits |
|---|---|
| AMRFinderPlus Database [NCBI] | Comprehensive and curated database used by NCBI’s AMRFinderPlus software tools Responsible for designation of allele names for new beta-lactamase and tetracycline-resistant genes |
| Comprehensive Antimicrobial Resistance Database (CARD) [McMaster University] | Comprehensive database of AMR gene sequences and SNPs Includes another database for AMR ontology; used by CARD’s RGI tool Integrated with NCBI’s AMRFinderPlus database |
| ResFinder database [Centre for Genomic Epidemiology] | Database for the ResFinder tools, including a web-based graphical user interface, with an emphasis on prediction of AMR phenotypes |
| Relational Sequencing TB Data Platform (ReSeqTB database) | AMR database for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, curated from large global data sets of Mtb sequences with phenotypic correlations |
Abbreviations: AMR, antimicrobial resistance; NCBI, National Center for Biotechnology Information; SNP, single-nucleotide polymorphism; RGI, Resistance Gene Identifier; Mtb, Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
