 #' All types of antibiograms as listed below can be plotted (using [ggplot2::autoplot()] or base \R [plot()]/[barplot()]). The `antibiogram` object can also be used directly in R Markdown / Quarto (i.e., `knitr`) for reports. In this case, [knitr::kable()] will be applied automatically and microorganism names will even be printed in italics at default (see argument `italicise`). You can also use functions from specific 'table reporting' packages to transform the output of [antibiogram()] to your needs, e.g. with `flextable::as_flextable()` or `gt::gt()`.
