Antimicrobial resistance, estimated to cause 1.27 million direct deaths in 2019, requires surveillance that normally demands bioinformatics skills to turn raw reads into answers. It ingests public SRA data via a Step Functions workflow and Fargate task, then runs a HealthOmics Nextflow pipeline that trims reads, assembles them, and detects resistance genes with AMRFinderPlus using a baked-in database. Results are normalized into the hAMRonization schema and merged idempotently into Iceberg tables on S3 Tables, so reprocessing an isolate updates rows rather than duplicating them. A Strands agent on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore answers plain-language questions by generating Athena queries, with Guardrails keeping responses grounded. The solution is defined entirely in AWS CDK, deploys with a single command, and avoids manual bioinformatics steps, remaining inexpensive when idle.
