Data set to interpret MIC and disk diffusion to R/SI values. Included guidelines are CLSI (2011-2019) and EUCAST (2011-2019). Use as.rsi() to transform MICs or disks measurements to R/SI values.

rsi_translation

Format

A data.frame with 13,975 observations and 9 variables:

  • guideline
    Name of the guideline

  • method
    Either "MIC" or "DISK"

  • site
    Body site, e.g. "Oral" or "Respiratory"

  • mo
    Microbial ID, see as.mo()

  • ab
    Antibiotic ID, see as.ab()

  • ref_tbl
    Info about where the guideline rule can be found

  • disk_dose
    Dose of the used disk diffusion method

  • breakpoint_S
    Lowest MIC value or highest number of millimeters that leads to "S"

  • breakpoint_R
    Highest MIC value or lowest number of millimeters that leads to "R"

Details

The repository of this AMR package contains a file comprising this exact data set: https://gitlab.com/msberends/AMR/blob/master/data-raw/rsi_translation.txt. This file allows for machine reading EUCAST and CLSI guidelines, which is almost impossible with the Excel and PDF files distributed by EUCAST and CLSI. This file is updated automatically.
