Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are on the rise due to the overuse and misuse of antibiotics in medicine, agriculture, and livestock. This resistance makes common infections harder to treat and increases healthcare costs and mortality rates. Everyday medical procedures and even minor injuries become riskier without effective antibiotics. If unchecked, antibiotic resistance will worsen, making common infections untreatable.
The Antibiotic Resistance Ontology (ARO) is crucial in this fight, organizing information about resistance mechanisms, genes, and traits. By using ARO at the Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database (CARD), scientists and healthcare providers can better understand antibiotic resistance. AMROX organizes and provides detailed information about resistance mechanisms, genes, and traits. Whether you're a researcher, clinician, or simply interested in bacterial resistance, AMROX gives you quick access to relevant information.
With AMROX, you can:
1. Explore Comprehensive Descriptions: Get detailed information about AMR genes and their mechanisms.
2. Search with Ease: Use keywords to find specific AMR genes and understand how bacteria resist antibiotics.
