The pdif site can mediate the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes(ARGs) within the same plasmid and between different plasmids, and it plays a crucial role in the spread of Acinetobacter baumannii resistance. However, there is currently no annotation method related to identify pdif sites. For this reason, we developed a tool named "pdifFinder" which can identify pdif site, ARG, and pdif modules. The pdifFinder code, standalone software package and description with tutorials are available at https://github.com/mjshao06/pdifFinder.
