The AMR Package for R

---

The AMR package is a 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 is 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.

Overview:

• Provides an all-in-one solution for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) data analysis in a One Health approach
• Used in over 175 countries, available in 20 languages
• Generates antibiograms - traditional, combined, syndromic, and even WISCA
• Provides the full microbiological taxonomy and extensive info on all antimicrobial drugs
• Applies all recent CLSI and EUCAST clinical and veterinary breakpoints for MICs, disk zones and ECOFFs
• 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
