NastyBugs: A simple method for extracting antimicrobial resistance information from metagenomes
Keyword(s):
Multidrug resistant bacteria are becoming a major threat to global public health. While there are many possible causes for this, there have so far been few adequate solutions to this problem. One of the major causes is a lack of clinical tools for efficient selection of an antibiotic in a reliable way. NastyBugs is a new program that can identify what type of antimicrobial resistance is most likely present in a metagenomic sample, which will allow for both smarter drug selection by clinicians and faster research in an academic environment.
