* Provides an **all-in-one solution** for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) data analysis in a One Health approach
* Used in over 175 countries, available in 20 languages
* Peer-reviewed, used in over 175 countries, available in 20 languages
* Generates **antibiograms** - traditional, combined, syndromic, and even WISCA
* Provides the **full microbiological taxonomy** and extensive info on **all antimicrobial drugs**
* Applies all recent **CLSI** and **EUCAST** clinical and veterinary breakpoints for MICs, disk zones and ECOFFs

### Introduction
The `AMR` package is a [free and open-source](#copyright) R package with [zero dependencies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependency_hell) to simplify the analysis and prediction of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and to work with microbial and antimicrobial data and properties, by using evidence-based methods. **Our aim is to provide a standard** for clean and reproducible AMR data analysis, that can therefore empower epidemiological analyses to continuously enable surveillance and treatment evaluation in any setting. [Many different researchers](./authors.html) from around the globe are continually helping us to make this a successful and durable project!

This work was published in the Journal of Statistical Software (Volume 104(3); [DOI 10.18637/jss.v104.i03](https://doi.org/10.18637/jss.v104.i03)) and formed the basis of two PhD theses ([DOI 10.33612/diss.177417131](https://doi.org/10.33612/diss.177417131) and [DOI 10.33612/diss.192486375](https://doi.org/10.33612/diss.192486375)).
After installing this package, R knows [**~52,000 distinct microbial species**](./reference/microorganisms.html) (updated December 2022) and all [**~600 antimicrobial and antiviral drugs**](./reference/antimicrobials.html) by name and code (including ATC, EARS-Net, ASIARS-Net, PubChem, LOINC and SNOMED CT), and knows all about valid SIR and MIC values. The integral clinical breakpoint guidelines from CLSI and EUCAST are included, even with epidemiological cut-off (ECOFF) values. It supports and can read any data format, including WHONET data. This package works on Windows, macOS and Linux with all versions of R since R-3.0 (April 2013). **It was designed to work in any setting, including those with very limited resources**. It was created for both routine data analysis and academic research at the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the [University of Groningen](https://www.rug.nl), in collaboration with non-profit organisations [Certe Medical Diagnostics and Advice Foundation](https://www.certe.nl) and [University Medical Center Groningen](https://www.umcg.nl).
