AMR Workshop 2021​

15 October 2021

Workshop on Antimicrobial Resistance

The Public Health Alliance for Genomic Epidemiology (PHA4GE) together with CLIMB-BIG-DATA and the Joint Programming Initiative on Antimicrobial Resistance (JPIAMR),  delivered a Workshop on Antimicrobial Resistance on 15th October 2021.

Antimicrobial resistance is a global public health threat and this workshop aims to provide training on the following:

  • Use of existing AMR-related databases and resources (including CARD, NCBI, and PATRIC)
  • Theory and use of bioinformatics tools to detect AMR genes from genomes (e.g., AMRFinderPlus)
  • How to compare and systematically report results from AMR genomics using hAMRonization
  • A practical introduction to bioinformatics workflows for AMR genomics
