 ### What is `AMR` (for R)?
 
-`AMR` is a free and open-source [R package](https://www.r-project.org) to simplify the analysis and prediction of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and to work with microbial and antimicrobial properties by using evidence-based methods. Since its first public release in early 2018, this package has been downloaded over 25,000 times from more than 60 countries <small>(source: [CRAN logs, 2019](https://cran-logs.rstudio.com))</small>.

-After installing this package, R knows [**~70,000 microorganisms**](./reference/microorganisms.html) (distinct microbial species) and [**~450 antibiotics**](./reference/antibiotics.html) by name and code, and knows all about valid RSI and MIC values. It supports any data format, including WHONET/EARS-Net data.

 We created this package for both routine analysis and academic research (as part of our PhD theses) at the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the University of Groningen, the Netherlands, and the Medical Microbiology & Infection Prevention (MMBI) department of the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG). This R package is [actively maintained](./news) and is free software (see [Copyright](#copyright)).

@@ -137,9 +137,9 @@ The `AMR` package basically does four important things:
    * Use `eucast_rules()` to apply [EUCAST expert rules to isolates](http://www.eucast.org/expert_rules_and_intrinsic_resistance/) (not the translation from MIC to RSI values, use `as.rsi()` for that).
    * Use `first_isolate()` to identify the first isolates of every patient [using guidelines from the CLSI](https://clsi.org/standards/products/microbiology/documents/m39/) (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute).
      * You can also identify first *weighted* isolates of every patient, an adjusted version of the CLSI guideline. This takes into account key antibiotics of every strain and compares them.
-   * Use `mdro()` (abbreviation of Multi Drug Resistant Organisms) to check your isolates for exceptional resistance with country-specific guidelines or EUCAST rules. Currently, national guidelines for Germany and the Netherlands are supported.
+   * Use `mdro()` to determine which micro-organisms are multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO). It supports a variety of international guidelines, such as the MDR-paper by Magiorakos *et al.* (2012, [PMID 21793988](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=21793988)), the exceptional phenotype definitions of EUCAST and the WHO guideline on multi-drug resistant TB. It also supports the national guidelines of the Netherlands and Germany.
    * The [data set `microorganisms`](./reference/microorganisms.html) contains the complete taxonomic tree of ~70,000 microorganisms. Furthermore, some colloquial names and all Gram stains are available, which enables resistance analysis of e.g. different antibiotics per Gram stain. The package also contains functions to look up values in this data set like `mo_genus()`, `mo_family()`, `mo_gramstain()` or even `mo_phylum()`. As they use `as.mo()` internally, they also use the same intelligent rules for determination. For example, `mo_genus("MRSA")` and `mo_genus("S. aureus")` will both return `"Staphylococcus"`. They also come with support for German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, French and Portuguese. These functions can be used to add new variables to your data.
-   * The [data set `antibiotics`](./reference/antibiotics.html) contains ~450 antimicrobial drugs with their EARS-Net code, ATC code, PubChem compound ID, official name, common LIS codes and DDDs of both oral and parenteral administration. It also contains all (thousands of) trade names found in PubChem. The function `ab_atc()` will return the ATC code of an antibiotic as defined by the WHO. Use functions like `ab_name()`, `ab_group()` and `ab_tradenames()` to look up values. The `ab_*` functions use `as.ab()` internally so they support the same intelligent rules to guess the most probable result. For example, `ab_name("Fluclox")`, `ab_name("Floxapen")` and `ab_name("J01CF05")` will all return `"Flucloxacillin"`. These functions can again be used to add new variables to your data.
