- New sir_combine() to combine SIR results of multiple antimicrobials into one variable; antibiogram(), wisca() and the count/proportion functions now use the same engine (antibiogram() and wisca() output unchanged) - With multiple antimicrobials, count_*() and proportion_*() now follow the documented combination therapy rules: resistance() is the proportion of failing combinations, count_all() excludes isolates with an unknown combination result, and WT/NWT/NS/NI are handled correctly - where() is now decided at runtime instead of at installation, fixing antibiogram() and wisca() without tidyselect (e.g. CRAN binaries without dplyr) - Imports from data.table and cli moved to .onLoad(); data.table functions are only used while it is loaded; the like() example no longer unloads data.table, which crashed R - Static test that fails on code outside functions depending on suggested packages - New check-without-dplyr workflow: installs AMR with all suggested packages, removes dplyr (and tidyselect), then runs all unit tests and examples against the installed package - g.test() now returns the degrees of freedom as 'parameter', so they are printed - Fix R CMD check NOTEs (hidden .claude folder, lost braces in inherited g.test and ggplot_pca docs)
The AMR Package for R
Please visit our comprehensive package website https://amr-for-r.org to read more about this package, including many examples and tutorials.
Overview:
- Provides an all-in-one solution for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) data analysis in a One Health approach
- Peer-reviewed, used in over 175 countries, cited over 100 times, available in 28 languages
- Generates antibiograms - WISCA for empiric coverage estimates, or traditional/syndromic for AMR surveillance
- Provides the full microbiological taxonomy of ~103 000 distinct species and extensive info of ~630 antimicrobial drugs
- Applies CLSI 2011-2026 and EUCAST 2011-2026 clinical and veterinary breakpoints, and ECOFFs, for MIC and disk zone interpretation
- Corrects for duplicate isolates, calculates and predicts AMR per antimicrobial class
- Integrates with WHONET, ATC, EARS-Net, PubChem, LOINC, SNOMED CT, and NCBI
- 100% free of costs and dependencies, highly suitable for places with limited resources
The AMR package is a peer-reviewed, free and open-source R package
with zero dependencies 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 has always been 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 AMR package 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
and the University Medical Center Groningen.
