\item{\code{prevalence}}{An integer based on estimated prevalence of the microorganism in humans. Used internally by \code{\link{as.mo}}, 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).}
A data set containing the complete microbial taxonomy of the kingdoms Bacteria, Fungi and Protozoa from ITIS. MO codes can be looked up using \code{\link{as.mo}}.
This package contains the \strong{complete microbial taxonomic data} (with all nine taxonomic ranks - from kingdom to subspecies) from the publicly available Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS, \url{https://www.itis.gov}).
All ~20,000 (sub)species from \strong{the taxonomic kingdoms Bacteria, Fungi and Protozoa are included in this package}, as well as all their ~2,500 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 ITIS honours the taxonomic branching order of bacterial phyla according to Cavalier-Smith (2002), which defines that all bacteria are classified into either subkingdom Negibacteria or subkingdom Posibacteria.
On our website \url{https://msberends.gitlab.io/AMR} you can find \href{https://msberends.gitlab.io/AMR/articles/AMR.html}{a omprehensive tutorial} about how to conduct AMR analysis and find \href{https://msberends.gitlab.io/AMR/reference}{the complete documentation of all functions}, which reads a lot easier than in R.
