AMR

This is an R package to simplify the analysis and prediction of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR).

logo_unilogo_umcg

This R package was created for academic research by PhD students of the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the University of Groningen and the Medical Microbiology & Infection Prevention department of the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG). They also maintain this package, see 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).

AMR can also be predicted for the forthcoming years with the rsi_predict function. 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.

It also contains functions to translate antibiotic codes from the lab (like "AMOX") or the WHO (like "J01CA04") to trivial names (like "amoxicillin") and vice versa.

How to get it?

This package is available on CRAN and also here on GitHub.

Overwrite/force resistance based on EUCAST rules

This is also called interpretive reading.

New classes

This package contains two new S3 classes: mic for MIC values (e.g. from Vitek or Phoenix) and rsi for antimicrobial drug interpretations (i.e. S, I and R). Both are actually ordered factors under the hood (an MIC of 2 being higher than <=1 but lower than >=32, and for class rsi factors are ordered as S < I < R). Both classes have extensions for existing generic functions like print, summary and plot.

# Transform values to new classes
mic_data <- as.mic(c(">=32", "1.0", "8", "<=0.128", "8", "16", "16"))
rsi_data <- as.rsi(c(rep("S", 474), rep("I", 36), rep("R", 370)))

These functions also try to coerce valid values.

Quick overviews when just printing objects:

mic_data
# Class 'mic': 7 isolates
# 
# <NA>  0
# 
# <=0.128       1       8      16    >=32
#       1       1       2       2       1

rsi_data
# Class 'rsi': 880 isolates
# 
# <NA>:       0 
# Sum of S:   474 
# Sum of IR:  406 
# - Sum of R: 370 
# - Sum of I: 36 
# 
#   %S  %IR   %I   %R 
# 53.9 46.1  4.1 42.0 

A plot of rsi_data:

plot(rsi_data)

example1

A plot of mic_data (defaults to bar plot):

plot(mic_data)

example2

Other epidemiological functions:

# Determine key antibiotic based on bacteria ID
key_antibiotics(...)

# Selection of first isolates of any patient
first_isolate(...)

# Calculate resistance levels of antibiotics, can be used with `summarise` (dplyr)
rsi(...)
# Predict resistance levels of antibiotics
rsi_predict(...)

# Get name of antibiotic by ATC code
abname(...)
abname("J01CR02", from = "atc", to = "umcg") # "AMCL"

Databases included in package

Datasets to work with antibiotics and bacteria properties.

# Dataset with ATC antibiotics codes, official names and DDD's (oral and parenteral)
ablist        # A tibble: 420 x 12

# Dataset with bacteria codes and properties like gram stain and aerobic/anaerobic
bactlist      # A tibble: 2,507 x 10
