Looker report

The Looker report is intended for use in Google's Looker Studio Data Studio for dashboarding purposes. It offers a highly condensed version of the resistance calls (using the looker_interpretation field from the laboratorian report) for a quick summary of the sample’s drug resistance profile.

Explanation of column headers

Column name Explanation
sample_id The name of the sample
output_seq_method_type The sequencing method used to generate the data; can be set with the --sequencing_method input parameter. If left blank, “Sequencing method not provided” is the default value
amikacin The highest looker_interpretation resistance identified for mutations associated with this drug
bedaquiline The highest looker_interpretation resistance identified for mutations associated with this drug
capreomycin The highest looker_interpretation resistance identified for mutations associated with this drug
clofazimine The highest looker_interpretation resistance identified for mutations associated with this drug
ethambutol The highest looker_interpretation resistance identified for mutations associated with this drug
ethionamide The highest looker_interpretation resistance identified for mutations associated with this drug
isoniazid The highest looker_interpretation resistance identified for mutations associated with this drug
kanamycin The highest looker_interpretation resistance identified for mutations associated with this drug
levofloxacin The highest looker_interpretation resistance identified for mutations associated with this drug
linezolid The highest looker_interpretation resistance identified for mutations associated with this drug
moxifloxacin The highest looker_interpretation resistance identified for mutations associated with this drug
pyrazinamide The highest looker_interpretation resistance identified for mutations associated with this drug
rifampin The highest looker_interpretation resistance identified for mutations associated with this drug
streptomycin The highest looker_interpretation resistance identified for mutations associated with this drug
lineage The lineage of the sample (the main_lin field as reported by TB-Profiler); for example, lineage1.2.1.2.1
ID The lineage of the sample in human-readable language (the same as M_DST_A01_ID in the LIMS report)
analysis_date The date tbp-parser was run in YYYY-MM-DD HH:SS format
operator The name of the person who ran tbp-parser; can be provided with the --operator input parameter. If left blank, “Operator not provided” is the default value.

Please note that occasionally, the looker_interpretation field can differ from the mdl_interpretation field. Typically, they are identical, but occasionally, the mdl_interpretation column will call a variant-drug combination “susceptible” (S), while the looker_interpretation column will call the same combination “uncertain” (U). Be aware of this difference when choosing an interpretation to report.
