u-CARE otherwise known as user-friendly Comprehensive Antibiotic resistance Repository of Escherichia coli is a database focused on the documentation of multi-drug resistant Escherichia coli (E.coli)[1][2]. This database aims to provide a tool that is easily accessible to researchers unfamiliar with bioinformatics and to medical practitioners as a reference for which antibiotic to use/not use in the treatment of an E.coli infection.[1] u-CARE is manually curated with 52 antibiotics, 107 genes, transcription factors, and SNP.[1] Information provided include resistance mechanism for the gene and summary, chemical description, and structural descriptions for the antibiotic.[1] On the antibiotic page, there is an external link linking to public databases like GO, CDD, Ecocyc, DEG, KEGG, DrugBank, Pubchem and Uniprot.[1] u-CARE can be accessed at http://www.e-bioinformatics.net/ucare..
