Bacmet Database

BacMet is an easy-to-use bioinformatics resource of antibacterial biocide- and metal-resistance genes. BacMet consists of two databases:

  • A manually curated database of genes with experimentally confirmed resistance function
  • A database of predicted resistance genes based on sequence similarity to genes with experimentally confirmed function

Quick search

You can search the BacMet database using any full term, including for example gene names (e.g. copA), name of biocides (e.g. Triclosan), metals (e.g. Arsenic) or chemical classes (e.g. Acridine). You will be redirected to the search page. The search also supports wildcard like this (e.g. Ar*nic for Arsenic or *ine for Diamidine)
