#' The \code{AMR} Package
|
|
#'
|
|
#' Welcome to the \code{AMR} package.
|
|
#' @details
|
|
#' \code{AMR} is a free and open-source R package to simplify the analysis and prediction of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and to work with microbial and antimicrobial properties by using evidence-based methods. It supports any table format, including WHONET/EARS-Net data.
|
|
#'
|
|
#' We created this package for both academic research and routine analysis at the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the University of Groningen and the Medical Microbiology & Infection Prevention (MMBI) department of the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG). This R package is actively maintained and free software; you can freely use and distribute it for both personal and commercial (but not patent) purposes under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2.0 (GPL-2), as published by the Free Software Foundation.

|
#'
|
|
#' This package can be used for:
|
|
#' \itemize{
|
|
#' \item{Reference for microorganisms, since it contains almost all 60,000 microbial (sub)species from the Catalogue of Life}
|
|
#' \item{Calculating antimicrobial resistance}
|
|
#' \item{Calculating empirical susceptibility of both mono therapy and combination therapy}
|
|
#' \item{Predicting future antimicrobial resistance using regression models}
|
|
#' \item{Getting properties for any microorganism (like Gram stain, species, genus or family)}
|
|
#' \item{Getting properties for any antibiotic (like name, ATC code, defined daily dose or trade name)}
|
|
#' \item{Plotting antimicrobial resistance}
|
|
#' \item{Determining first isolates to be used for AMR analysis}
|
|
#' \item{Applying EUCAST expert rules (not the translation from MIC to RSI values)}
|
|
#' \item{Determining multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO)}
|
|
#' \item{Descriptive statistics: frequency tables, kurtosis and skewness}
|
