Determine bug-drug combinations

Determine antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of all bug-drug combinations in your data set where at least 30 (default) isolates are available per species. Use format on the result to prettify it to a printable format, see Examples.

bug_drug_combinations(x, col_mo = NULL, minimum = 30)

# S3 method for bug_drug_combinations
format(x, combine_IR = FALSE,
  add_ab_group = TRUE)

Arguments

x

data with antibiotic columns, like e.g. AMX and AMC
col_mo

column name of the IDs of the microorganisms (see as.mo), defaults to the first column of class mo. Values will be coerced using as.mo.
minimum

the minimum allowed number of available (tested) isolates. Any isolate count lower than minimum will return NA with a warning. The default number of 30 isolates is advised by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) as best practice, see Source.
combine_IR

logical to indicate whether values R and I should be summed
add_ab_group

logical to indicate where the group of the antimicrobials must be included as a first column

Details

The function format calculates the resistance per bug-drug combination. Use combine_IR = FALSE (default) to test R vs. S+I and combine_IR = TRUE to test R+I vs. S.
