Large-scale assessment of antimicrobial resistance marker databases for genetic phenotype prediction: a systematic review

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2020
Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a rising health threat with 10 million annual casualties estimated by 2050. Appropriate treatment of infectious diseases with the right antibiotics reduces the spread of antibiotic resistance.
