Virulence and AMR Plasmid Transfer Factor Database

A comprehensive list of virulence genes from Salmonella and Escherichia coli and genes associated with antimicrobial resistance (AMR) plasmid transfer (type 4 secretion system) in enteric bacteria were collected based on the published literature and sequenced reference strains. Approximately 1000 predicted factors were cataloged and their DNA sequences and related information (products, protein sequence, etc.) were extracted from NCBI to create the databases.


Tools

The tools provided in this site can let users do local blast against known virulence factors from Salmonella and display blast results in a unique way. And can compare blast results from multiple NGS and display results in different formats.
