\code{AMR} is a free and open-source R package to simplify the analysis and prediction of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and to work with microbial and antimicrobial properties by using evidence-based methods. It supports any table format, including WHONET/EARS-Net data.
We created this package for both academic research and routine analysis at the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the University of Groningen and the Medical Microbiology & Infection Prevention (MMBI) department of the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG). This R package is actively maintained and free software; you can freely use and distribute it for both personal and commercial (but not patent) purposes under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2.0 (GPL-2), as published by the Free Software Foundation.
This package can be used for:
\itemize{
\item{Calculating antimicrobial resistance}
\item{Predicting antimicrobial resistance using regression models}
\item{Getting properties for any microorganism (like Gram stain, species, genus or family)}
\item{Getting properties for any antibiotic (like name, ATC code, defined daily dose or trade name)}
\item{Plotting antimicrobial resistance}
\item{Determining first isolates to be used for AMR analysis}
\item{Applying EUCAST rules}
\item{Determining multi-drug resistance organisms (MDRO)}
\item{Descriptive statistics: frequency tables, kurtosis and skewness}
