\item{\code{prevalence}}{A rounded integer based on prevalence of the microorganism. Used internally by \code{\link{as.mo}}, otherwise quite meaningless.}
A data set containing the complete microbial taxonomy of the kingdoms Bacteria, Fungi and Protozoa. MO codes can be looked up using \code{\link{as.mo}}.
This package contains the \strong{complete microbial taxonomic data} (with all seven taxonomic ranks - from subkingdom to subspecies) from the publicly available Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS, \url{https://www.itis.gov}).
All (sub)species from the taxonomic kingdoms Bacteria, Fungi and Protozoa are included in this package, as well as all previously accepted names known to ITIS. Furthermore, the responsible authors and year of publication are available. This allows users to use authoritative taxonomic information for their data analysis on any microorganism, not only human pathogens.
