Hello Louis,

Welcome to the forums! :qiime2:

The first alpha release of the QIIME 2 Shotgun Metagenomics Distribution was released in 2023, and I don't think we have a plugin for profiling antimicrobial resistance genes (yet!!)

You can read our [shotgun metagenomic tutorial here](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/draft-tutorial-for-shotgun-metagenomics-with-qiime-2/28040). With contigs from that tutorial, you could look for Resistance Genes using a database like [CARD](https://card.mcmaster.ca/).

What biological system are you studying? Which antibiotics are you interested in?
