AMR: An R Package for Working with Antimicrobial Resistance Data [PDF]

Journal of Statistical Software, 2019
AbstractAntimicrobial resistance is an increasing threat to global health. Evidence for this trend is generated in microbiological laboratories through testing microorganisms for resistance against antimicrobial agents. International standards and guidelines are in place for this process as well as for reporting data on (inter-)national levels. However,
