PathoFact: a pipeline for the prediction of virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance genes in metagenomic data
Abstract Background Pathogenic microorganisms cause disease by invading, colonizing, and damaging their host. Virulence factors including bacterial toxins contribute to pathogenicity. Additionally, antimicrobial resistance genes allow pathogens to evade otherwise curative treatments. To understand c...
