Description

Data set to interpret MIC and disk diffusion to R/SI values. Included guidelines are CLSI (2010-2019) and EUCAST (2011-2021). Use as.rsi() to transform MICs or disks measurements to R/SI values.

Usage

Format

A data.frame with 20,486 observations and 10 variables:

• guideline
  Name of the guideline

• method
  Either "DISK" or "MIC"

• 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 millimetres that leads to "S"

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

• uti
  A logical value (TRUE/FALSE) to indicate whether the rule applies to a urinary tract infection (UTI)

Details

The repository of this AMR package contains a file comprising this exact data set: https://github.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. The file is updated automatically.

Reference Data Publicly Available

All reference data sets (about microorganisms, antibiotics, R/SI interpretation, EUCAST rules, etc.) in this AMR package are publicly and freely available. We continually export our data sets to formats for use in R, SPSS, SAS, Stata and Excel. We also supply flat files that are machine-readable and suitable for input in any software program, such as laboratory information systems. Please find all download links on our website, which is automatically updated with every code change.
