<p>These functions can be used to determine first weighted isolates by considering the phenotype for isolate selection (see <code><ahref="first_isolate.html">first_isolate()</a></code>). Using a phenotype-based method to determine first isolates is more reliable than methods that disregard phenotypes.</p>

<p>The <code>key_antimicrobials()</code> and <code>all_antimicrobials()</code> functions are context-aware. This means that the <code>x</code> argument can be left blank if used inside a <ahref="https://rdrr.io/r/base/data.frame.html"class="external-link">data.frame</a> call, see <em>Examples</em>.</p>
<p>The function <code>key_antimicrobials()</code> returns a <ahref="https://rdrr.io/r/base/character.html"class="external-link">character</a> vector with 12 antimicrobial results for every isolate. The function <code>all_antimicrobials()</code> returns a <ahref="https://rdrr.io/r/base/character.html"class="external-link">character</a> vector with all antimicrobial drug results for every isolate. These vectors can then be compared using <code>antimicrobials_equal()</code>, to check if two isolates have generally the same antibiogram. Missing and invalid values are replaced with a dot (<code>"."</code>) by <code>key_antimicrobials()</code> and ignored by <code>antimicrobials_equal()</code>.</p>
<p>Please see the <code><ahref="first_isolate.html">first_isolate()</a></code> function how these important functions enable the 'phenotype-based' method for determination of first isolates.</p>
