\item{language}{language of the returned text, defaults to system language (see \code{\link[=get_locale]{get_locale()}}) and can also be set with \code{getOption("AMR_locale")}. Use \code{language = NULL} or \code{language = ""} to prevent translation.}
\item{tolower}{logical to indicate whether the first character of every output should be transformed to a lower case character. This will lead to e.g. "polymyxin B" and not "polymyxin b".}
\item An \code{\link{integer}} in case of \code{\link[=ab_cid]{ab_cid()}}
\item A named \code{\link{list}} in case of \code{\link[=ab_info]{ab_info()}} and multiple \code{\link[=ab_synonyms]{ab_synonyms()}}/\code{\link[=ab_tradenames]{ab_tradenames()}}
\item A \code{\link{double}} in case of \code{\link[=ab_ddd]{ab_ddd()}}
\item A \code{\link{character}} in all other cases
Use these functions to return a specific property of an antibiotic from the \link{antibiotics} data set. All input values will be evaluated internally with \code{\link[=as.ab]{as.ab()}}.
The \link[AMR:lifecycle]{lifecycle} of this function is \strong{maturing}. The unlying code of a maturing function has been roughed out, but finer details might still change. We will strive to maintain backward compatibility, but the function needs wider usage and more extensive testing in order to optimise the unlying code.
