dr. M.S. (Matthijs) BerendsandClaude Opus 5.5 d683b9e7c6 (v3.0.1.9096) MO code registry: codes never change meaning, are never guessed, and are validated
- data-raw/microorganisms_files/: registry of all MO codes of every release since v2.0.0
  (78,992 codes, built from the git tags), approved renames, and README with the rules;
  decision by Matthijs S. Berends: MO codes from before v2.0.0 are not supported
- as.mo(): codes of earlier releases are translated deterministically via the internal
  MO_RETIRED_CODES (generated from the registry); unknown codes are no longer guessed
  (previously F_TRCHP, Trichophyton in v3.0.1, became Talaromyces chlamydosporus)
- synonym_mo_to_accepted_mo(): a missing target of one source no longer overwrites a valid
  target of another source (e.g. Chaetomium abuense), and no 'renamed to itself'
- taxonomy build: codes are reused and reserved from the registry instead of the development
  data (fixes 40 codes reused in the 2026 development data), also for phylum to family;
  synonym cycles are broken; dangling 'renamed to' identifiers are removed; the build stops
  on any broken integrity rule before saving
- run_microorganisms_build.R: runs the build in chunks at its checkpoints in one R process,
  with progress logging and resuming from any checkpoint; prompt updated accordingly
- tests: shared integrity rules (helper-microorganisms.R) used by build and testthat, registry
  tests over all codes, sentinel organisms, regression tests; current defects of the data on
  main are listed in microorganisms_known_defects.csv until the next rebuild

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 ~97 000 distinct species and extensive info of ~620 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.
