Bactopia Tool: Amrfinderplus.

Identify antimicrobial resistance genes and point mutations in bacterial genomes. This Bactopia Tool uses AMRFinder+ to screen assemblies and proteins for antimicrobial resistance genes, virulence genes, and resistance-associated point mutations. It identifies acquired AMR genes and some point mutations in protein or assembled nucleotide sequences.

Usage

Bactopia CLI:

bactopia --wf amrfinderplus \
  --bactopia /path/to/your/bactopia/results

Nextflow:

nextflow run bactopia/bactopia/workflows/bactopia-tools/amrfinderplus/main.nf \
  --bactopia /path/to/your/bactopia/results

Audit Trail

Below are files that can assist you in understanding which parameters and program versions were used.

Logs

Each process that is executed will have a folder named logs. In this folder are helpful files for you to review if the need ever arises.

Extension	Description
.begin	An empty file used to designate the process started
.err	Contains STDERR outputs from the process
.log	Contains both STDERR and STDOUT outputs from the process
.out	Contains STDOUT outputs from the process
.run	The script Nextflow uses to stage/unstage files and queue processes based on given profile
.sh	The script executed by bash for the process
.trace	The Nextflow trace report for the process
versions.yml	A YAML formatted file with program versions

Nextflow Reports

These Nextflow reports provide great a great summary of your run. These can be used to optimize resource usage and estimate expected costs if using cloud platforms.

Filename	Description
amrfinderplus-dag.dot	The Nextflow DAG visualization
amrfinderplus-report.html	The Nextflow Execution Report
amrfinderplus-timeline.html	The Nextflow Timeline Report
amrfinderplus-trace.txt	The Nextflow Trace report
