Research Article | Clinical Science and EpidemiologySSTAR, a Stand-Alone Easy-To-Use Antimicrobial Resistance Gene PredictorWhole-genome sequencing (WGS) is quickly becoming a routine method for identifying genes associated with antimicrobial resistance (AR). However, for many microbiologists, the use and analysis of WGS data present a substantial challenge. We developed SSTAR, software with a graphical user interface that enables the identification of known AR genes from WGS and has the unique capacity to easily detect new variants of known AR genes,...
