However, dedicated tools for reliable and reproducible AMR data analysis and reporting are often lacking. We aimed to compare traditional data analysis and reporting versus a new approach for reliable and reproducible AMR data analysis in a clinical setting.<h4>Methods</h4>Ten professionals who routinely work with AMR data were provided with blood culture test results including antimicrobial susceptibility results. Participants were asked to perform a detailed AMR data analysis in a two-round process: first using their software of choice and next using our newly developed software tool.
