Include antibiotic resistance testing tool (ResFinder, AMRFinder+ ...)

Open samuell opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

It would be useful to include a tool that can run testing for antibiotic resistance testing, as this is something that is routinely run in hospital environments, which often have quite limited IT-environments, often not allowing installation of custom tools and especially not linux based ones.

It would be great to be able to include ResFinder, but the fact that it is a python package (calling blast under the hood), probably doesn't help.

AMRFinder+ is written in C++ though, so might be an option.

If no one else has time to do this, I might have a look at implementing it at some point (but don't hold back if anyone wants to give it a go).
