#' Key Antibiotics for First (Weighted) Isolates
#'
#' These function can be used to determine first isolates (see [first_isolate()]). Using key antibiotics to determine first isolates is more reliable than without key antibiotics. These selected isolates can then be called first 'weighted' isolates.
#' @inheritSection lifecycle Stable Lifecycle
#' @param x a [data.frame] with antibiotics columns, like `AMX` or `amox`. Can be left blank to determine automatically
#' @param y,z character vectors to compare
#' @inheritParams first_isolate
#' @param universal_1,universal_2,universal_3,universal_4,universal_5,universal_6 column names of **broad-spectrum** antibiotics, case-insensitive. See details for which antibiotics will be used at default (which are guessed with [guess_ab_col()]).
#' @param GramPos_1,GramPos_2,GramPos_3,GramPos_4,GramPos_5,GramPos_6 column names of antibiotics for **Gram-positives**, case-insensitive. See details for which antibiotics will be used at default (which are guessed with [guess_ab_col()]).
#' @param GramNeg_1,GramNeg_2,GramNeg_3,GramNeg_4,GramNeg_5,GramNeg_6 column names of antibiotics for **Gram-negatives**, case-insensitive. See details for which antibiotics will be used at default (which are guessed with [guess_ab_col()]).
#' @param warnings give a warning about missing antibiotic columns (they will be ignored)
#' @param ... other arguments passed on to functions
#' @details 
#' The [key_antibiotics()] function is context-aware. This means that then the `x` argument can be left blank, see *Examples*.
#' 
#' The function [key_antibiotics()] returns a character vector with 12 antibiotic results for every isolate. These isolates can then be compared using [key_antibiotics_equal()], to check if two isolates have generally the same antibiogram. Missing and invalid values are replaced with a dot (`"."`) by [key_antibiotics()] and ignored by [key_antibiotics_equal()].
#' 
#' The [first_isolate()] function only uses this function on the same microbial species from the same patient. Using this, e.g. an MRSA will be included after a susceptible *S. aureus* (MSSA) is found within the same patient episode. Without key antibiotic comparison it would not. See [first_isolate()] for more info.
#'
#' At default, the antibiotics that are used for **Gram-positive bacteria** are:
#' - Amoxicillin
#' - Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid
#' - Cefuroxime
#' - Piperacillin/tazobactam
#' - Ciprofloxacin
#' - Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole
#' - Vancomycin
#' - Teicoplanin
#' - Tetracycline
#' - Erythromycin
#' - Oxacillin
#' - Rifampin
#'
#' At default the antibiotics that are used for **Gram-negative bacteria** are:
#' - Amoxicillin
#' - Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid
#' - Cefuroxime
#' - Piperacillin/tazobactam
#' - Ciprofloxacin
#' - Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole
#' - Gentamicin
#' - Tobramycin
#' - Colistin
#' - Cefotaxime
#' - Ceftazidime
#' - Meropenem
#' 
#' The function [key_antibiotics_equal()] checks the characters returned by [key_antibiotics()] for equality, and returns a [`logical`] vector.
