Importance:
While increasing rates of antimicrobial resistance undermine our current arsenal of antibiotics, resistance-modifying agents (RMAs) hold promise to extend the lifetime of these important molecules. We here provide a standardized nomenclature for RMAs within the Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database in aid of RMA discovery, data curation, and genome mining.
