| Definition | The almEFG operon is responsible for glycylation of lipid A as a mechanism of colistin resistance in Vibrio cholerae. Its mechanism involves transfer of a glycyl molecule to the carrier protein almF by almE followed by glycylation of lipid A by almG. |

Prevalence of almEFG among the sequenced genomes, plasmids, and whole-genome shotgun assemblies available at NCBI or IslandViewer for 413 important pathogens (see methodological details and complete list of analyzed pathogens). Values reflect percentage of genomes, plasmids, genome islands, or whole-genome shotgun assemblies that have at least one hit to the AMR detection model. Default view includes percentages calculated based on Perfect plus Strict RGI hits. Select the checkbox to view percentages based on only Perfect matches to AMR reference sequences curated in CARD (note: this excludes resistance via mutation as references in protein variant models are often wild-type, sensitive sequences).
