<p>A data set containing all antibiotics. Use <code><ahref='as.ab.html'>as.ab</a></code> or one of the <code><ahref='ab_property.html'>ab_property</a></code> functions to retrieve values from this data set. Three identifiers are included in this data set: an antibiotic ID (<code>ab</code>, primarily used in this package) as defined by WHONET/EARS-Net, an ATC code (<code>atc</code>) as defined by the WHO, and a Compound ID (<code>cid</code>) as found in PubChem. Other properties in this data set are derived from one or more of these codes.</p>
<dt><code>ab</code></dt><dd><p>Antibiotic ID as used in this package (like <code>AMC</code>), using the official EARS-Net (European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network) codes where available</p></dd>
<dt><code>atc</code></dt><dd><p>ATC code (Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical) as defined by the WHOCC, like <code>J01CR02</code></p></dd>
<dt><code>cid</code></dt><dd><p>Compound ID as found in PubChem</p></dd>
<dt><code>name</code></dt><dd><p>Official name as used by WHONET/EARS-Net or the WHO</p></dd>
<dt><code>group</code></dt><dd><p>A short and concise group name, based on WHONET and WHOCC definitions</p></dd>
<dt><code>atc_group1</code></dt><dd><p>Official pharmacological subgroup (3rd level ATC code) as defined by the WHOCC, like <code>"Macrolides, lincosamides and streptogramins"</code></p></dd>
<dt><code>atc_group2</code></dt><dd><p>Official chemical subgroup (4th level ATC code) as defined by the WHOCC, like <code>"Macrolides"</code></p></dd>
<dt><code>abbr</code></dt><dd><p>List of abbreviations as used in many countries, also for antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST)</p></dd>
<dt><code>synonyms</code></dt><dd><p>Synonyms (often trade names) of a drug, as found in PubChem based on their compound ID</p></dd>

<p>Properties that are based on an ATC code are only available when an ATC is available. These properties are: <code>atc_group1</code>, <code>atc_group2</code>, <code>oral_ddd</code>, <code>oral_units</code>, <code>iv_ddd</code> and <code>iv_units</code></p>
<p>Synonyms (i.e. trade names) are derived from the Compound ID (<code>cid</code>) and consequently only available where a CID is available.</p>
This package contains <strong>all ~450 antimicrobial drugs</strong> and their Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) codes, ATC groups and Defined Daily Dose (DDD) from the World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Drug Statistics Methodology (WHOCC, <ahref='https://www.whocc.no'>https://www.whocc.no</a>) and the Pharmaceuticals Community Register of the European Commission (<ahref='http://ec.europa.eu/health/documents/community-register/html/atc.htm'>http://ec.europa.eu/health/documents/community-register/html/atc.htm</a>).</p>
<p>These have become the gold standard for international drug utilisation monitoring and research.</p>
