A New Milestone: 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, Canada. To celebrate this great improvement of the package, we also updated the package logo to reflect this change.

The clinical_breakpoints data set contains all these breakpoints, and can be downloaded on our download page.
