Abstract: The present invention relates to the systematic identification of antimicrobial resistance markers (biomarkers) in a microorganism for a particular compound and the use of such identified markers for the screening of microorganisms for antimicrobial resistance, as well as for screening/predicting antimicrobial compounds that can overcome the resistance provided by one or more of the antimicrobial resistance marker(s).

Abstract: The present invention provides for the prediction or detection of antimicrobial drug resistance in a microorganism, particularly in a pathogenic microorganism, by determining the presence or absence of antimicrobial resistance markers (AMRs) in the microorganism. This allows for the rapid determination of whether a microorganism is resistant to one or more antimicrobial drugs. The microorganism can be obtained from a patient suffering or suspected of suffering from an infection by the microorganism, and once the determination is made, the patient can be given an antimicrobial drug to which the microorganism is not resistant.
