Ncbi-amrfinderplus

Introduction

Ncbi-amrfinderplus and the accompanying database identify acquired antimicrobial resistance genes in bacterial protein and/or assembled nucleotide sequences as well as known resistance-associated point mutations for several taxa.

For more information, please check:

Versions

  • 3.10.30

  • 3.10.42

  • 3.11.2

Commands

  • amrfinder

Module

You can load the modules by:

module load biocontainers
module load ncbi-amrfinderplus

Note

AMRFinderPlus database has been setup for users. Users can check the database version by amrfinder -V. RCAC will keep updating database for users. If you notice our database is out of date, you can contact us to update the database.
