Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a major growing concern to public health predicted to cause over 2M deaths per year by 2050, with the Global South facing a disproportionate burden of AMR increasing the risk of untreatable bacterial infections.
The AMR Portal is a collaboration between EMBL-EBI research and service teams alongside Imperial College London to deliver a new way to access and explore AMR phenotype and genotype annotations through a user-friendly interface. AMR antibiogram records can be filtered by an antibiotic compound, resistance phenotype, testing methods and many more attributes. The same data can be programmatically interrogated in a number of different programming languages.
Data within the portal was produced by the MRC project CABBAGE (Comprehensive Assessment of Bacterial-Based AMR prediction from Genotypes). CABBAGE represents the largest public AMR dataset in a reconciled, uniform format.
