\title{Name of an antibiotic}
\source{
\code{\link{antibiotics}}
}
\usage{
abname(abcode, from = c("guess", "atc", "molis", "umcg"),
  to = "official", textbetween = " + ", tolower = FALSE)
}
\arguments{
\item{abcode}{a code or name, like \code{"AMOX"}, \code{"AMCL"} or \code{"J01CA04"}}

\item{from, to}{type to transform from and to. See \code{\link{antibiotics}} for its column names. WIth \code{from = "guess"} the from will be guessed from \code{"atc"}, \code{"molis"} and \code{"umcg"}. When using \code{to = "atc"}, the ATC code will be searched using \code{\link{guess_atc}}.}

\item{textbetween}{text to put between multiple returned texts}

\item{tolower}{return output as lower case with function \code{\link{tolower}}.}
}
\description{
Convert antibiotic codes (from a laboratory information system like MOLIS or GLIMS) to a (trivial) antibiotic name or ATC code, or vice versa. This uses the data from \code{\link{antibiotics}}.
}
\examples{
abname("AMCL")
# "amoxicillin and enzyme inhibitor"

# It is quite flexible at default (having `from = "guess"`)
abname(c("amox", "J01CA04", "Trimox", "dispermox", "Amoxil"))
# "Amoxicillin" "Amoxicillin" "Amoxicillin" "Amoxicillin" "Amoxicillin"

# Multiple antibiotics can be combined with "+".
# The second antibiotic will be set to lower case when `tolower` was not set:
abname("AMCL+GENT", textbetween = "/")
# "amoxicillin and enzyme inhibitor/gentamicin"

abname(c("AMCL", "GENT"))
# "Amoxicillin and beta-lactamase inhibitor" "Gentamicin"

abname("AMCL", to = "trivial_nl")
# "Amoxicilline/clavulaanzuur"

abname("AMCL", to = "atc")
# "J01CR02"

# specific codes for University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG):
abname("J01CR02", from = "atc", to = "umcg")
# "AMCL"
