Have you ever wanted to compare antibiotic resistance data and resistance gene calls in bacteria? Now you can! Easily access and browse antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) data and link to other NCBI resources using the new AST Browser. NCBI has collected AST data for many isolates in the Pathogen Detection system.
Features and Benefits
- Data is in a searchable, tabular format
- Download data for further analysis
- Use the Cross-browser selection tool to link out to the Isolates Browser or MicroBIGG-E to identify the isolates and the genetic elements associated with each AST result
Figure 1: AST Browser display filtered for K. pneumoniae isolates that have a Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of 2 mg/L or higher against imipenem. A) Main browser panel with the ‘Download’ and ‘Cross-browser selection’ features highlighted. B) Details of the expanded Filters section showing the panels for the ‘Organism group’, ‘Antibiotic’, and ‘MIC’. The autocomplete feature finds the antibiotic imipenem upon typing in ‘imi’ in the search box of the Antibiotic filter.
Contribute your data!
Do you have additional AST data? If so, we encourage you to submit it to NCBI. Please see our documentation on how to do so.

Note: The phenotype data displayed in this interface is supplied by submitters and appears in the BioSample record for the isolate. These results may differ from the genetic resistance identified in silico from the genomic sequences linked to that BioSample record. Also, beyond basic quality control (e.g., negative MIC values), NCBI does not vet the methods used or values supplied for AST data. Due to differences in collection strategies, overall frequencies of resistance should be interpreted with caution. Note that MIC data and disk diffusion data are separated into distinct columns.
