### 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. The rationale behind this package was scientifically described in the Journal of Statistical Software (Volume xx, Issue xx; [DOI 10.18637/jss.v000.i00](https://doi.org/10.18637/jss.v000.i00) *- waiting for copy-editing to finish*).

After installing this package, R knows [**~71,000 distinct microbial species**](./reference/microorganisms.html) and all [**~570 antibiotic, antimycotic and antiviral drugs**](./reference/antibiotics.html) by name and code (including ATC, WHONET/EARS-Net, PubChem, LOINC and SNOMED CT), and knows all about valid R/SI and MIC values. It supports any data format, including WHONET/EARS-Net 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). This R package 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)) but is [actively and durably maintained](./news) by two public healthcare organisations in the Netherlands.

This package was intended as a comprehensive toolbox for integrated AMR data analysis. This package can be used for:
|
||||
|
||||
* Reference for the taxonomy of microorganisms, since the package contains all microbial (sub)species from the [Catalogue of Life](http://www.catalogueoflife.org) and [List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature](https://lpsn.dsmz.de) ([manual](./reference/mo_property.html))

* Reference for the taxonomy of microorganisms, since the package contains all microbial (sub)species from the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature ([LPSN]((https://lpsn.dsmz.de))) and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility ([GBIF](https://www.gbif.org)) ([manual](./reference/mo_property.html))
|
||||
* Interpreting raw MIC and disk diffusion values, based on the latest CLSI or EUCAST guidelines ([manual](./reference/as.rsi.html))
|
||||
* Retrieving antimicrobial drug names, doses and forms of administration from clinical health care records ([manual](./reference/ab_from_text.html))
