# `AMR`
### An [R package](https://www.r-project.org) to simplify the analysis and prediction of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR).

## Why this package?
This R package contains functions to make **microbiological, epidemiological data analysis easier**. It allows the use of some new classes to work with MIC values and antimicrobial interpretations (i.e. values S, I and R).
With `AMR` you can also:
* Create frequency tables with the `freq` function
* Conduct AMR analysis with the `rsi` function, that can also be used with the `dplyr` package (e.g. in conjunction with `summarise`) to calculate the resistance percentages (and even co-resistance) of different antibiotic columns of a table
* Predict antimicrobial resistance for the nextcoming years with the `rsi_predict` function
* Apply [EUCAST rules to isolates](http://www.eucast.org/expert_rules_and_intrinsic_resistance/) with the `EUCAST_rules` function
* Identify first isolates of every patient [using guidelines from the CLSI](https://clsi.org/standards/products/microbiology/documents/m39/) (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute) with the `first_isolate` function
* Translate antibiotic codes from the lab (like `"AMOX"`) or the [WHO](https://www.whocc.no/atc_ddd_index/?code=J01CA04&showdescription=no) (like `"J01CA04"`) to trivial names (like `"amoxicillin"`) with the `abname` function
* Get antimicrobial ATC properties from the WHO Collaborating Centre for Drug Statistics Methodology ([WHOCC](https://www.whocc.no/atc_ddd_methodology/who_collaborating_centre/)), to be able to:
* Translate antibiotic codes (like *AMOX*), official names (like *amoxicillin*) and even trade names (like *Amoxil* or *Trimox*) to an [ATC code](https://www.whocc.no/atc_ddd_index/?code=J01CA04&showdescription=no) (like *J01CA04*) and vice versa with the `abname` function
* Get the latest antibiotic properties like hierarchic groups and [defined daily dose](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defined_daily_dose) (DDD) with units and administration form from the WHOCC website with the `atc_property` function
* Create frequency tables with the `freq` function
With the `MDRO` function (abbreviation of Multi Drug Resistant Organisms), you can check your isolates for exceptional resistance with country-specific guidelines or EUCAST rules. Currently guidelines for Germany and the Netherlands are supported. Please suggest addition of your own country here: [https://github.com/msberends/AMR/issues/new](https://github.com/msberends/AMR/issues/new?title=New%20guideline%20for%20MDRO&body=%3C--%20Please%20add%20your%20country%20code,%20guideline%20name,%20version%20and%20source%20below%20and%20remove%20this%20line--%3E).
