Finding mutations conferring antibiotic resistance

Hi All,

What bioinformatics approaches can I employ to determine antibiotic resistance in bacteria strains conferred by the 23S rRNA mutation, or any other gene generally speaking?

Thanks

May you should read literature and look into the methods ?

This is not really what you are asking for, but maybe these tools can help you :

Hi @sharmilla_487, Hope you've found a solution already and if not: What I did was download the arg-annot and CARD datasets and made a local blast database of each on my computer (linux). Then I blasted my sequences against the two databases and then applied some criteria to prune down the matched 23S rRNA outputs and look for association with antibiotic resistance.
