<p>A data set containing the complete microbial taxonomy of the kingdoms Bacteria, Fungi and Protozoa. MO codes can be looked up using <code>as.mo</code>.</p>
<p>A <code><ahref='https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/base/topics/data.frame'>data.frame</a></code> with 18,833 observations and 15 variables:</p><dlclass='dl-horizontal'>
<dt><code>mo</code></dt><dd><p>ID of microorganism</p></dd>
<dt><code>tsn</code></dt><dd><p>Taxonomic Serial Number (TSN), as defined by ITIS</p></dd>
<dt><code>genus</code></dt><dd><p>Taxonomic genus of the microorganism as found in ITIS, see Source</p></dd>
<dt><code>species</code></dt><dd><p>Taxonomic species of the microorganism as found in ITIS, see Source</p></dd>
<dt><code>subspecies</code></dt><dd><p>Taxonomic subspecies of the microorganism as found in ITIS, see Source</p></dd>
<dt><code>fullname</code></dt><dd><p>Full name, like <code>"Echerichia coli"</code></p></dd>
<dt><code>family</code></dt><dd><p>Taxonomic family of the microorganism as found in ITIS, see Source</p></dd>
<dt><code>order</code></dt><dd><p>Taxonomic order of the microorganism as found in ITIS, see Source</p></dd>
<dt><code>class</code></dt><dd><p>Taxonomic class of the microorganism as found in ITIS, see Source</p></dd>
<dt><code>phylum</code></dt><dd><p>Taxonomic phylum of the microorganism as found in ITIS, see Source</p></dd>
<dt><code>subkingdom</code></dt><dd><p>Taxonomic subkingdom of the microorganism as found in ITIS, see Source</p></dd>
<dt><code>kingdom</code></dt><dd><p>Taxonomic kingdom of the microorganism as found in ITIS, see Source</p></dd>
<dt><code>gramstain</code></dt><dd><p>Gram of microorganism, like <code>"Gram negative"</code></p></dd>
<dt><code>prevalence</code></dt><dd><p>An integer based on estimated prevalence of the microorganism in humans. Used internally by <code>as.mo</code>, otherwise quite meaningless. It has a value of 25 for manually added items and a value of 1000 for all unprevalent microorganisms whose genus was somewhere in the top 250 (with another species).</p></dd>
This package contains the <strong>complete microbial taxonomic data</strong> (with all nine taxonomic ranks - from kingdom to subspecies) from the publicly available Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS, <ahref='https://www.itis.gov'>https://www.itis.gov</a>).</p>
<p>All (sub)species from <strong>the taxonomic kingdoms Bacteria, Fungi and Protozoa are included in this package</strong>, 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. It also helps to quickly determine the Gram stain of bacteria, since all bacteria are classified into subkingdom Negibacteria or Posibacteria.</p>
<p>ITIS is a partnership of U.S., Canadian, and Mexican agencies and taxonomic specialists [3].</p>
