They also maintain this package, see [Authors](#authors). ## Why this package? -This R package contains functions to make microbiological, epidemiological data analysis easier. It allows the use of some new S3 classes to work with MIC values and antimicrobial interpretations (i.e. values S, I and R). +This R package contains functions to make microbiological, epidemiological data analysis easier.

For use with the `dplyr` package, the `rsi` function can be used in conjunction with `summarise` to calculate the resistance percentages of different antibiotic columns of a table. +With AMR you can also apply EUCAST rules to isolates, identify first isolates of every patient, 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"`), or predict antimicrobial resistance for the nextcoming years with the `rsi_predict` function. -It also contains functions to 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"`) and vice versa. +For regular AMR analysis, the `rsi` function can be used.
