\title{Add Custom Microorganisms to This Package}
\usage{
add_custom_microorganisms(x)

clear_custom_microorganisms()
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{a \link{data.frame} resembling the \link{microorganisms} data set, at least containing columns "genus" and "species"}
}
\description{
With \code{\link[=add_custom_microorganisms]{add_custom_microorganisms()}} you can add your own custom microorganisms to the \code{AMR} package, such the non-taxonomic outcome of laboratory analysis.
}
\details{
This function will fill in missing taxonomy for you, if specific taxonomic columns are missing, see \emph{Examples}.

\strong{Important:} Due to how \R works, the \code{\link[=add_custom_microorganisms]{add_custom_microorganisms()}} function has to be run in every \R session - added microorganisms are not stored between sessions and are thus lost when \R is exited.

There are two ways to automate this process:

\strong{Method 1:} Save the microorganisms to a local or remote file (can even be the internet). To use this method:
\enumerate{
\item Create a data set in the structure of the \link{microorganisms} data set (containing at the very least columns "genus" and "species") and save it with \code{\link[=saveRDS]{saveRDS()}} to a location of choice, e.g. \code{"~/my_custom_mo.rds"}, or any remote location.
\item Set the file location to the \code{AMR_custom_mo} \R option: \code{options(AMR_custom_mo = "~/my_custom_mo.rds")}. This can even be a remote file location, such as an https URL. Since options are not saved between \R sessions, it is best to save this option to the \code{.Rprofile} file so that it will loaded on start-up of \R. To do this, open the \code{.Rprofile} file using e.g. \code{utils::file.edit("~/.Rprofile")}, add this text and save the file:

\if{html}{\out{<div class="sourceCode r">}}\preformatted{# Add custom microorganism codes:
options(AMR_custom_mo = "~/my_custom_mo.rds")
}\if{html}{\out{</div>}}

Upon package load, this file will be loaded and run through the \code{\link[=add_custom_microorganisms]{add_custom_microorganisms()}} function.
}

\strong{Method 2:} Save the microorganism directly to your \code{.Rprofile} file. An important downside is that this requires to load the \code{AMR} package at every start-up. To use this method:
\enumerate{
\item Edit the \code{.Rprofile} file using e.g. \code{utils::file.edit("~/.Rprofile")}.
\item Add a text like below and save the file:

\if{html}{\out{<div class="sourceCode r">}}\preformatted{ # Add custom antibiotic drug codes:
 library(AMR)
 add_custom_microorganisms(
   data.frame(genus = "Enterobacter",
              species = "asburiae/cloacae")
 )
}\if{html}{\out{</div>}}
}

Use \code{\link[=clear_custom_microorganisms]{clear_custom_microorganisms()}} to clear the previously added antimicrobials.
}
\examples{
\donttest{

# a combination of species is not formal taxonomy, so
# this will result in only "Enterobacter asburiae":
mo_name("Enterobacter asburiae/cloacae")

# now add a custom entry - it will be considered by as.mo() and
# all mo_*() functions
add_custom_microorganisms(
  data.frame(genus = "Enterobacter",
             species = "asburiae/cloacae"
  )
)

# E. asburiae/cloacae is now a new microorganism:
mo_name("Enterobacter asburiae/cloacae")

# its code:
as.mo("Enterobacter asburiae/cloacae")

# all internal algorithms will work as well:
mo_name("Ent asburia cloacae")

# and even the taxonomy was added based on the genus!
mo_family("E. asburiae/cloacae")
mo_gramstain("Enterobacter asburiae/cloacae")

mo_info("Enterobacter asburiae/cloacae")
}
