A New Milestone: AMR v3.0 with One Health Support (= Human + Veterinary + Environmental)
This package now supports not only tools for AMR data analysis in clinical settings, but also for veterinary and environmental microbiology. This was made possible through a collaboration with the University of Prince Edward Island’s Atlantic Veterinary College, Canada. To celebrate this great improvement of the package, we also updated the package logo to reflect this change.

- Dataset
antibiotics
has been renamed to antimicrobials
as the data set contains more than just antibiotics. Using antibiotics
will still work, but now returns a warning.
- Removed all functions and references that used the deprecated
rsi
class, which were all replaced with their sir
equivalents over two years ago.
- Functions
resistance_predict()
and sir_predict()
is now deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use the tidymodels
framework instead, for which we wrote a basic introduction.

- Function
as.sir()
now has extensive support for veterinary breakpoints from CLSI. Use breakpoint_type = "animal"
and set the host
argument to a variable that contains animal species names.

+- Support for parallel computing to greatly improve speed using the
parallel
package (part of base R). Use as.sir(your_data, parallel = TRUE)
to run SIR interpretation using multiple cores.
- It is now possible to use column names for arguments
guideline
, ab
, mo
, and uti
: as.sir(..., ab = "column1", mo = "column2", uti = "column3")
. This greatly improves the flexibility for users.
- Users can now set their own criteria (using regular expressions) as to what should be considered S, I, R, SDD, and NI.
- To get quantitative values,
as.double()
on a sir
object will return 1 for S, 2 for SDD/I, and 3 for R (NI will become NA
). Other functions using sir
classes (e.g., summary()
) are updated to reflect the change to contain NI and SDD.
