ResFinder database is a curated database of acquired resistance genes

ResFinder identifies acquired antimicrobial resistance genes in total or partial sequenced isolates of bacteria.

ResFinder that uses BLAST for identification of acquired antimicrobial resistance genes in whole-genome data. As input, the method can use both pre-assembled, complete or partial genomes, and short sequence reads from four different sequencing platforms. The method was evaluated on 1862 GenBank files containing 1411 different resistance genes, as well as on 23 de-novo-sequenced isolates.

This package provides the database needed for resfinder.
