NCBI Antimicrobial Resistance Gene Finder (AMRFinderPlus)

This software and the accompanying database are designed to find acquired antimicrobial resistance genes and point mutations in protein and/or assembled nucleotide sequences. We have also added "plus" stress, heat, and biocide resistance and virulence factors for some organisms.
