Table 1.
Element type | Element subtype | Description |
---|---|---|
AMR | AMR | Antimicrobial resistance gene |
AMR | POINT | Known point mutation associated with antimicrobial resistance |
VIRULENCE | VIRULENCE | Virulence gene |
VIRULENCE | ANTIGEN | Gene codes for a known antigen; this will be a future expansion of functionality |
STRESS | ACID | Acid resistance gene |
STRESS | BIOCIDE | Biocide resistance gene |
STRESS | HEAT | Heat resistance gene |
STRESS | METAL | Metal resistance gene |
Note that “resistance” is used as a shorthand for significantly decreased susceptibility, and does not necessarily mean that the gene will confer clinical resistance.
