Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database (CARD)

The Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database (CARD) is an online resource that provides detailed information about genes and proteins responsible for bacteria resisting antibiotics. It helps researchers and healthcare professionals understand how bacteria become resistant, enabling better detection, tracking, and development of new treatments to combat antibiotic resistance. CARD organizes data on resistance mechanisms, genetic elements, and specific resistance genes, supporting efforts to monitor and manage antibiotic effectiveness in medicine and public health.
