<p>Two data sets containing all antibiotics/antimycotics and antivirals. 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 the antibiotics 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>
<h3>For the antibiotics data set: a <code><ahref='https://rdrr.io/r/base/data.frame.html'>data.frame</a></code> with 456 observations and 14 variables:</h3>
<li><p><code>ab</code><br/> 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></li>
<li><p><code>atc</code><br/> ATC code (Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical) as defined by the WHOCC, like <code>J01CR02</code></p></li>
<li><p><code>cid</code><br/> Compound ID as found in PubChem</p></li>
<li><p><code>name</code><br/> Official name as used by WHONET/EARS-Net or the WHO</p></li>
<li><p><code>group</code><br/> A short and concise group name, based on WHONET and WHOCC definitions</p></li>
<li><p><code>atc_group1</code><br/> Official pharmacological subgroup (3rd level ATC code) as defined by the WHOCC, like <code>"Macrolides, lincosamides and streptogramins"</code></p></li>
<li><p><code>atc_group2</code><br/> Official chemical subgroup (4th level ATC code) as defined by the WHOCC, like <code>"Macrolides"</code></p></li>
<li><p><code>abbr</code><br/> List of abbreviations as used in many countries, also for antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST)</p></li>
<li><p><code>synonyms</code><br/> Synonyms (often trade names) of a drug, as found in PubChem based on their compound ID</p></li>
<li><p><code>oral_ddd</code><br/> Defined Daily Dose (DDD), oral treatment</p></li>
<li><p><code>oral_units</code><br/> Units of <code>oral_ddd</code></p></li>
<li><p><code>iv_ddd</code><br/> Defined Daily Dose (DDD), parenteral treatment</p></li>
<li><p><code>iv_units</code><br/> Units of <code>iv_ddd</code></p></li>
<li><p><code>loinc</code><br/> All LOINC codes (Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes) associated with the name of the antimicrobial agent. Use <code><ahref='ab_property.html'>ab_loinc()</a></code> to retrieve them quickly, see <code><ahref='ab_property.html'>ab_property()</a></code>.</p></li>
<h3>For the antivirals data set: a <code><ahref='https://rdrr.io/r/base/data.frame.html'>data.frame</a></code> with 102 observations and 9 variables:</h3>
<ul>
<li><p><code>atc</code><br/> ATC code (Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical) as defined by the WHOCC</p></li>
<li><p><code>cid</code><br/> Compound ID as found in PubChem</p></li>
<li><p><code>name</code><br/> Official name as used by WHONET/EARS-Net or the WHO</p></li>
<li><p><code>atc_group</code><br/> Official pharmacological subgroup (3rd level ATC code) as defined by the WHOCC</p></li>
<li><p><code>synonyms</code><br/> Synonyms (often trade names) of a drug, as found in PubChem based on their compound ID</p></li>
<li><p><code>oral_ddd</code><br/> Defined Daily Dose (DDD), oral treatment</p></li>
<li><p><code>oral_units</code><br/> Units of <code>oral_ddd</code></p></li>
<li><p><code>iv_ddd</code><br/> Defined Daily Dose (DDD), parenteral treatment</p></li>

<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><h3>Direct download</h3>
