# Options for the AMR package
This is an overview of all the package-specific options you can set in
the `AMR` package. Set them using the
[`options()`](https://rdrr.io/r/base/options.html) function, e.g.:
`options(AMR_guideline = "CLSI")`
## Options (alphabetical order)
- `AMR_antibiogram_formatting_type`
A [numeric](https://rdrr.io/r/base/numeric.html) (1-22) to use in
[`antibiogram()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/antibiogram.md), to
indicate which formatting type to use.
- `AMR_breakpoint_type`
A [character](https://rdrr.io/r/base/character.html) to use in
[`as.sir()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/as.sir.md), to indicate
which breakpoint type to use. This must be either "ECOFF", "animal",
or "human".
- `AMR_capped_mic_handling`
A [character](https://rdrr.io/r/base/character.html) to use in
[`as.sir()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/as.sir.md), to indicate
how capped MIC values (`<`, `<=`, `>`, `>=`) should be interpreted.
Must be one of `"none"`, `"conservative"`, `"standard"`, or
`"lenient"` - the default is `"conservative"`.
- `AMR_cleaning_regex`
A [regular expression](https://rdrr.io/r/base/regex.html)
(case-insensitive) to use in
[`as.mo()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/as.mo.md) and all
[`mo_*`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/mo_property.md) functions, to
clean the user input. The default is the outcome of
[`mo_cleaning_regex()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/as.mo.md),
which removes texts between brackets and texts such as "species" and
"serovar".
- `AMR_custom_ab`
A file location to an RDS file, to use custom antimicrobial drugs with
this package. This is explained in
[`add_custom_antimicrobials()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/add_custom_antimicrobials.md).
- `AMR_custom_mo`
A file location to an RDS file, to use custom microorganisms with this
package. This is explained in
[`add_custom_microorganisms()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/add_custom_microorganisms.md).
- `AMR_eucastrules`
A [character](https://rdrr.io/r/base/character.html) to set the
default types of rules for
[`eucast_rules()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/interpretive_rules.md)
function, must be one or more of: `"breakpoints"`, `"expert"`,
`"other"`, `"custom"`, `"all"`, and defaults to
`c("breakpoints", "expert")`.
- `AMR_guideline`
A [character](https://rdrr.io/r/base/character.html) to set the
default guideline used throughout the `AMR` package wherever a
`guideline` argument is available. This option is used as the default
in e.g. [`as.sir()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/as.sir.md),
[`resistance()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/proportion.md),
[`susceptibility()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/proportion.md),
[`interpretive_rules()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/interpretive_rules.md)
and many plotting functions. **While unset**, the AMR package uses the
latest implemented EUCAST guideline (currently EUCAST 2025).
- For [`as.sir()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/as.sir.md), this
determines which clinical breakpoint guideline is used to interpret
MIC values and disk diffusion diameters. It can be either the
guideline name (e.g., `"CLSI"` or `"EUCAST"`) or the name including
a year (e.g., `"CLSI 2019"`). Supported guidelines are EUCAST 2011
to 2025, and CLSI 2011 to 2025.
- For [`resistance()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/proportion.md)
and
[`susceptibility()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/proportion.md),
this setting determines how the `"I"` (Intermediate / Increased
exposure) category is handled in calculations. Under CLSI, `"I"` is
considered *resistant* in susceptibility calculations; under EUCAST,
`"I"` is considered *susceptible* in susceptibility calculations.
Explicitly setting this option ensures reproducible AMR proportion
estimates.
- For
[`interpretive_rules()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/interpretive_rules.md),
this determines which guideline-specific interpretive (expert) rules
are applied to antimicrobial test results, either EUCAST or CLSI.
- For many plotting functions (e.g., for MIC or disk diffusion
values), supplying `mo` and `ab` enables automatic SIR-based
interpretative colouring. These colours are derived from
[`as.sir()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/as.sir.md) in the
background and therefore depend on the active `guideline` setting,
which again uses EUCAST 2025 if not set explicitly.
- `AMR_guideline`
A [character](https://rdrr.io/r/base/character.html) to set the
default guideline for interpreting MIC values and disk diffusion
diameters with
[`as.sir()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/as.sir.md). Can be only
the guideline name (e.g., `"CLSI"`) or the name with a year (e.g.
`"CLSI 2019"`). The default to the latest implemented EUCAST
guideline, currently `"EUCAST 2025"`. Supported guideline are
currently EUCAST (2011-2025) and CLSI (2011-2025).
- `AMR_ignore_pattern`
A [regular expression](https://rdrr.io/r/base/regex.html) to ignore
(i.e., make `NA`) any match given in
[`as.mo()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/as.mo.md) and all
[`mo_*`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/mo_property.md) functions.
- `AMR_include_PKPD`
A [logical](https://rdrr.io/r/base/logical.html) to use in
[`as.sir()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/as.sir.md), to indicate
that PK/PD clinical breakpoints must be applied as a last resort - the
default is `TRUE`.
- `AMR_substitute_missing_r_breakpoint`
A [logical](https://rdrr.io/r/base/logical.html) to use in
[`as.sir()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/as.sir.md), to indicate
that missing R breakpoints must be substituted with `"R"` - the
default is `FALSE`.
- `AMR_include_screening`
A [logical](https://rdrr.io/r/base/logical.html) to use in
[`as.sir()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/as.sir.md), to indicate
that clinical breakpoints for screening are allowed - the default is
`FALSE`.
- `AMR_keep_synonyms`
A [logical](https://rdrr.io/r/base/logical.html) to use in
[`as.mo()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/as.mo.md) and all
[`mo_*`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/mo_property.md) functions, to
indicate if old, previously valid taxonomic names must be preserved
and not be corrected to currently accepted names. The default is
`FALSE`.
- `AMR_locale`
A [character](https://rdrr.io/r/base/character.html) to set the
language for the `AMR` package, can be one of these supported language
names or [ISO 639-1 codes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-1):
English (en), Arabic (ar), Bengali (bn), Chinese (zh), Czech (cs),
Danish (da), Dutch (nl), Finnish (fi), French (fr), German (de), Greek
(el), Hindi (hi), Indonesian (id), Italian (it), Japanese (ja), Korean
(ko), Norwegian (no), Polish (pl), Portuguese (pt), Romanian (ro),
Russian (ru), Spanish (es), Swahili (sw), Swedish (sv), Turkish (tr),
Ukrainian (uk), Urdu (ur), or Vietnamese (vi). The default is the
current system language (if supported, English otherwise).
- `AMR_mo_source`
A file location for a manual code list to be used in
[`as.mo()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/as.mo.md) and all
[`mo_*`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/mo_property.md) functions.
This is explained in
[`set_mo_source()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/mo_source.md).
## Saving Settings Between Sessions
Settings in R are not saved globally and are thus lost when R is exited.
You can save your options to your own `.Rprofile` file, which is a
user-specific file. You can edit it using:
utils::file.edit("~/.Rprofile")
In this file, you can set options such as...
options(AMR_locale = "pt")
options(AMR_include_PKPD = TRUE)
...to add Portuguese language support of antimicrobials, and allow PK/PD
rules when interpreting MIC values with
[`as.sir()`](https://amr-for-r.org/reference/as.sir.md).
### Share Options Within Team
For a more collaborative approach, e.g. within a (data) team, save an
options file to a remote file location, such as a shared network drive,
and have each user read in this file automatically at start-up. This
would work in this way:
1. Save a plain text file to e.g. "X:/team_folder/R_options.R" and fill
it with preferred settings.
2. For each user, open the `.Rprofile` file using
`utils::file.edit("~/.Rprofile")` and put in there:
source("X:/team_folder/R_options.R")
3. Reload R/RStudio and check the settings with
[`getOption()`](https://rdrr.io/r/base/options.html), e.g.
`getOption("AMR_locale")` if you have set that value.
Now the team settings are configured in only one place, and can be
maintained there.
