Abstract

Read online

The implementation of genomics for identification and surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in clinical laboratories remains challenging. Here, Sherry et al. present a bioinformatics platform for detection of AMR determinants from whole-genome sequencing data, suitable for clinical and public-health microbiology reporting.
