<a href="#welcome-to-the-amr-package" class="anchor"></a>Welcome to the AMR package</h1>
<p><code>AMR</code> is a free, open-source and independent R package 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. <strong>Our aim is to provide a standard</strong> for clean and reproducible antimicrobial resistance data analysis, that can therefore empower epidemiological analyses to continuously enable surveillance and treatment evaluation in any setting.</p>
<p>After installing this package, R knows <strong>~70,000 distinct microbial species</strong> and all <strong>~550 antibiotic, antimycotic and antiviral drugs</strong> by name and code (including ATC, EARS-NET, LOINC and SNOMED CT), and knows all about valid R/SI and MIC values. It supports any data format, including WHONET/EARS-Net data.</p>
<p>This package is fully independent of any other R package and works on Windows, macOS and Linux with all versions of R since R-3.0.0 (April 2013). <strong>It was designed to work in any setting, including those with very limited resources</strong>. It was created for both routine data analysis and academic research at the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the University of Groningen, in collaboration with non-profit organisations Certe Medical Diagnostics and Advice and University Medical Center Groningen. This R package is actively maintained (see Changelog) and is free software (see Copyright).</p>
<p>Since its first public release in early 2018, this package has been downloaded from more than 100 countries.</p>
<div id="usage-examples" class="section level2">
<h2 class="hasAnchor">
<a href="#usage-examples" class="anchor"></a>Usage examples</h2>
<p>This package can be used for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Reference for the taxonomy of microorganisms, since the package contains all microbial (sub)species from the Catalogue of Life and List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature</li>
<li>Interpreting raw MIC and disk diffusion values, based on the latest CLSI or EUCAST guidelines</li>
<li>Retrieving antimicrobial drug names, doses and forms of administration from clinical health care records</li>
<li>Determining first isolates to be used for AMR analysis</li>
<li>Calculating antimicrobial resistance</li>
<li>Determining multi-drug resistance (MDR) / multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO)</li>
<li>Calculating (empirical) susceptibility of both mono therapy and combination therapies</li>
<li>Predicting future antimicrobial resistance using regression models</li>
<li>Getting properties for any microorganism (like Gram stain, species, genus or family)</li>
<li>Getting properties for any antibiotic (like name, code of EARS-Net/ATC/LOINC/PubChem, defined daily dose or trade name)</li>
<li>Plotting antimicrobial resistance</li>
<li>Applying EUCAST expert rules</li>
<li>Getting SNOMED codes of a microorganism, or getting properties of a microorganism based on a SNOMED code</li>
<li>Getting LOINC codes of an antibiotic, or getting properties of an antibiotic based on a LOINC code</li>
<li>Machine reading the EUCAST and CLSI guidelines from 2011-2020 to translate MIC values and disk diffusion diameters to R/SI</li>
<li>Principal component analysis for AMR</li>
</ul>
