- Note: the rules of ‘EUCAST Clinical Breakpoints v11.0 (2021)’ will also be added in this next release, to be expected in February/March 2021.
Support for EUCAST Clinical Breakpoints v11.0 (2021), effective in the eucast_rules()
function and in as.rsi()
to interpret MIC and disk diffusion values. This is now the default guideline in this package.
Function eucast_dosage()
to to get advised dosages of a certain bug-drug combination based on EUCAST dosage data
Data set dosage
to fuel the new eucast_dosage()
function and to make this data available in a structured way
Function eucast_dosage()
to get a data.frame
with advised dosages of a certain bug-drug combination, which is based on the new dosage
data set
Function isolate_identifier()
, which will paste a microorganism code with all antimicrobial results of a data set into one string for each row. This is useful to compare isolates, e.g. between institutions or regions, when there is no genotyping available.
Function mo_is_yeast()
, which determines whether a microorganism is a member of the taxonomic class Saccharomycetes or the taxonomic order Saccharomycetales:
microorganisms.codes
(which contains popular LIS and WHONET codes for microorganisms) for some species of Mycobacterium that previously incorrectly returned M. africanum
antibiotics
data set"PNV"
will now correctly be interpreted as PHN
, the antibiotic code for phenoxymethylpenicillin (‘peni V’)For interpreting MIC values as well as disk diffusion diameters, supported guidelines to be used as input for the guideline
argument are: "CLSI 2010", "CLSI 2011", "CLSI 2012", "CLSI 2013", "CLSI 2014", "CLSI 2015", "CLSI 2016", "CLSI 2017", "CLSI 2018", "CLSI 2019", "EUCAST 2011", "EUCAST 2012", "EUCAST 2013", "EUCAST 2014", "EUCAST 2015", "EUCAST 2016", "EUCAST 2017", "EUCAST 2018", "EUCAST 2019", "EUCAST 2020".

Simply using "CLSI"
or "EUCAST"
as input will automatically select the latest version of that guideline. You can set your own data set using the reference_data
argument. The guideline
argument will then be ignored.
The repository of this package contains a machine readable version of all guidelines. This is a CSV file consisting of 18,650 rows and 10 columns. This file is machine readable, since it contains one row for every unique combination of the test method (MIC or disk diffusion), the antimicrobial agent and the microorganism. This allows for easy implementation of these rules in laboratory information systems (LIS). Note that it only contains interpretation guidelines for humans - interpretation guidelines from CLSI for animals were removed.

Apply rules for clinical breakpoints and intrinsic resistance as defined by the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST, https://eucast.org), see Source. Use eucast_dosage()
to get advised dosages of a certain bug-drug combination, which is based on the dosage data set.

To improve the interpretation of the antibiogram before EUCAST rules are applied, some non-EUCAST rules can applied at default, see Details.
