<metaproperty="og:description"content="Use these selection helpers inside any function that allows Tidyverse selection helpers, like dplyr::select() or tidyr::pivot_longer(). They help to select the columns of antibiotics that are of a specific antibiotic class, without the need to define the columns or antibiotic abbreviations."/>
<p>Use these selection helpers inside any function that allows <ahref='https://tidyselect.r-lib.org/reference/language.html'>Tidyverse selection helpers</a>, like <code><ahref='https://dplyr.tidyverse.org/reference/select.html'>dplyr::select()</a></code> or <code><ahref='https://tidyr.tidyverse.org/reference/pivot_longer.html'>tidyr::pivot_longer()</a></code>. They help to select the columns of antibiotics that are of a specific antibiotic class, without the need to define the columns or antibiotic abbreviations.</p>
<td><p>an antimicrobial class, like <code>"carbapenems"</code>. The columns <code>group</code>, <code>atc_group1</code> and <code>atc_group2</code> of the <ahref='antibiotics.html'>antibiotics</a> data set will be searched (case-insensitive) for this value.</p></td>
<p>All columns will be searched for known antibiotic names, abbreviations, brand names and codes (ATC, EARS-Net, WHO, etc.) in the <ahref='antibiotics.html'>antibiotics</a> data set. This means that a selector like e.g. <code>aminoglycosides()</code> will pick up column names like 'gen', 'genta', 'J01GB03', 'tobra', 'Tobracin', etc.</p>
<p><strong>N.B. These functions only work if the <code>tidyselect</code> package is installed</strong>, that comes with the <code>dplyr</code> package. An error will be thrown if the <code>tidyselect</code> package is not installed, or if the functions are used outside a function that allows Tidyverse selections like <code><ahref='https://dplyr.tidyverse.org/reference/select.html'>select()</a></code> or <code>pivot_longer()</code>.</p>

<p>All reference data sets (about microorganisms, antibiotics, R/SI interpretation, EUCAST rules, etc.) in this <code>AMR</code> package are publicly and freely available. We continually export our data sets to formats for use in R, SPSS, SAS, Stata and Excel. We also supply flat files that are machine-readable and suitable for input in any software program, such as laboratory information systems. Please find <ahref='https://msberends.github.io/AMR/articles/datasets.html'>all download links on our website</a>, which is automatically updated with every code change.</p>
