<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_*</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.
