RSV Lab Antibiotic Classification and Mechanism Mapping Table — 61 Antibiotics, 27 Classes

Abstract:This table maps 61 antibiotics to pharmacological class, mechanism of action, and disk-diffusion metadata, spanning 27 classes from penicillins and carbapenems through glycopeptides and oxazolidinones. Each mechanism family carries a consistent color code, which matters for anything downstream that needs mechanism-based grouping rather than a flat drug list: resistance heatmaps, clustering, or dimensionality-reduction analyses where consistent labeling is part of the method, not just presentation. Data structure (CSV, UTF-8, 61 rows plus header):Antibiotic — string — antibiotic name, 61 valuesDisk_name — string — standard disk abbreviationDisk_value_µg — numeric — disk potency, µgAntibioticClass — string — pharmacological class, 27 valuesMechanism — string — mechanism-of-action family with descriptive labelAntibiotics_mechanism_color — string — hex color code for the mechanism familyNote — string — CLSI edition tag Keywords:antibiotic classification, mechanism of action, resistance visualization, drug metadata
