AntibiHórus: Concordance Errors Between Manual and Automated AST Readings

A dataset of 5.5 KB in XLS format, uploaded to figshare by Patricia Orlandi Barth, details errors of concordance between manual and automated readings of Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests (AST). The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-08. It categorizes errors as Very Major Error (VME), Major Error (ME), and Minor Error (MiE).

Use Cases

• Assess the reliability of automated AST systems based on the reported error categories.
• Compare error rates between manual and automated laboratory methods based on the described concordance analysis.
• Benchmark laboratory quality control metrics based on VME, ME, and MiE classifications.

Strengths

• Dataset is small (5.5 KB), facilitating quick download and inspection.
• Data is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing broad reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
