<p>Use this function to determine a valid microorganism code (<code>mo</code>).

<p>Values that cannot be coerced will be considered 'unknown' and will get the MO code <code>UNKNOWN</code>.</p>
<p>Use the <code><ahref="mo_property.html">mo_*</a></code> functions to get properties based on the returned code, see <em>Examples</em>.</p>
<p>The algorithm uses data from the Catalogue of Life (see below) and from one other source (see <ahref="microorganisms.html">microorganisms</a>).</p>
<p>The <code>as.mo()</code> function uses several coercion rules for fast and logical results. It assesses the input matching criteria in the following order:</p><ol><li><p>Human pathogenic prevalence: the function starts with more prevalent microorganisms, followed by less prevalent ones;</p></li>
<li><p>Taxonomic kingdom: the function starts with determining Bacteria, then Fungi, then Protozoa, then others;</p></li>
<li><p>Breakdown of input values to identify possible matches.</p></li>
</ol><p>This will lead to the effect that e.g. <code>"E. coli"</code> (a microorganism highly prevalent in humans) will return the microbial ID of <em>Escherichia coli</em> and not <em>Entamoeba coli</em> (a microorganism less prevalent in humans), although the latter would alphabetically come first.</p>
</div>
<divclass="section">
<h3id="coping-with-uncertain-results">Coping with Uncertain Results<aclass="anchor"aria-label="anchor"href="#coping-with-uncertain-results"></a></h3>
<p>In addition, the <code>as.mo()</code> function can differentiate four levels of uncertainty to guess valid results:</p><ul><li><p>Uncertainty level 0: no additional rules are applied;</p></li>
<li><p>Uncertainty level 1: allow previously accepted (but now invalid) taxonomic names and minor spelling errors;</p></li>
<li><p>Uncertainty level 2: allow all of level 1, strip values between brackets, inverse the words of the input, strip off text elements from the end keeping at least two elements;</p></li>
<li><p>Uncertainty level 3: allow all of level 1 and 2, strip off text elements from the end, allow any part of a taxonomic name.</p></li>
</ul><p>The level of uncertainty can be set using the argument <code>allow_uncertain</code>. The default is <code>allow_uncertain = TRUE</code>, which is equal to uncertainty level 2. Using <code>allow_uncertain = FALSE</code> is equal to uncertainty level 0 and will skip all rules. You can also use e.g. <code>as.mo(..., allow_uncertain = 1)</code> to only allow up to level 1 uncertainty.</p>
<p>With the default setting (<code>allow_uncertain = TRUE</code>, level 2), below examples will lead to valid results:</p><ul><li><p><code>"Streptococcus group B (known as S. agalactiae)"</code>. The text between brackets will be removed and a warning will be thrown that the result <em>Streptococcus group B</em> (<code>B_STRPT_GRPB</code>) needs review.</p></li>
<li><p><code>"S. aureus - please mind: MRSA"</code>. The last word will be stripped, after which the function will try to find a match. If it does not, the second last word will be stripped, etc. Again, a warning will be thrown that the result <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> (<code>B_STPHY_AURS</code>) needs review.</p></li>
<li><p><code>"Fluoroquinolone-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae"</code>. The first word will be stripped, after which the function will try to find a match. A warning will be thrown that the result <em>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</em> (<code>B_NESSR_GNRR</code>) needs review.</p></li>
</ul><p>There are three helper functions that can be run after using the <code>as.mo()</code> function:</p><ul><li><p>Use <code>mo_uncertainties()</code> to get a <ahref="https://rdrr.io/r/base/data.frame.html"class="external-link">data.frame</a> that prints in a pretty format with all taxonomic names that were guessed. The output contains the matching score for all matches (see <em>Matching Score for Microorganisms</em> below).</p></li>
<li><p>Use <code>mo_failures()</code> to get a <ahref="https://rdrr.io/r/base/character.html"class="external-link">character</a><ahref="https://rdrr.io/r/base/vector.html"class="external-link">vector</a> with all values that could not be coerced to a valid value.</p></li>
<li><p>Use <code>mo_renamed()</code> to get a <ahref="https://rdrr.io/r/base/data.frame.html"class="external-link">data.frame</a> with all values that could be coerced based on old, previously accepted taxonomic names.</p></li>

<p>With ambiguous user input in <code>as.mo()</code> and all the <code><ahref="mo_property.html">mo_*</a></code> functions, the returned results are chosen based on their matching score using <code><ahref="mo_matching_score.html">mo_matching_score()</a></code>. This matching score \(m\), is calculated as:</p>
<p>where:</p><ul><li><p><i>x</i> is the user input;</p></li>
<li><p><i>n</i> is a taxonomic name (genus, species, and subspecies);</p></li>
<li><p><i>l<sub>n</sub></i> is the length of <i>n</i>;</p></li>
<li><p><i>lev</i> is the <ahref="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance"class="external-link">Levenshtein distance function</a>, which counts any insertion, deletion and substitution as 1 that is needed to change <i>x</i> into <i>n</i>;</p></li>
<li><p><i>p<sub>n</sub></i> is the human pathogenic prevalence group of <i>n</i>, as described below;</p></li>
<li><p><i>k<sub>n</sub></i> is the taxonomic kingdom of <i>n</i>, set as Bacteria = 1, Fungi = 2, Protozoa = 3, Archaea = 4, others = 5.</p></li>
</ul><p>The grouping into human pathogenic prevalence (\(p\)) is based on experience from several microbiological laboratories in the Netherlands in conjunction with international reports on pathogen prevalence. <strong>Group 1</strong> (most prevalent microorganisms) consists of all microorganisms where the taxonomic class is Gammaproteobacteria or where the taxonomic genus is <em>Enterococcus</em>, <em>Staphylococcus</em> or <em>Streptococcus</em>. This group consequently contains all common Gram-negative bacteria, such as <em>Pseudomonas</em> and <em>Legionella</em> and all species within the order Enterobacterales. <strong>Group 2</strong> consists of all microorganisms where the taxonomic phylum is Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria or Sarcomastigophora, or where the taxonomic genus is <em>Absidia</em>, <em>Acremonium</em>, <em>Actinotignum</em>, <em>Alternaria</em>, <em>Anaerosalibacter</em>, <em>Apophysomyces</em>, <em>Arachnia</em>, <em>Aspergillus</em>, <em>Aureobacterium</em>, <em>Aureobasidium</em>, <em>Bacteroides</em>, <em>Basidiobolus</em>, <em>Beauveria</em>, <em>Blastocystis</em>, <em>Branhamella</em>, <em>Calymmatobacterium</em>, <em>Candida</em>, <em>Capnocytophaga</em>, <em>Catabacter</em>, <em>Chaetomium</em>, <em>Chryseobacterium</em>, <em>Chryseomonas</em>, <em>Chrysonilia</em>, <em>Cladophialophora</em>, <em>Cladosporium</em>, <em>Conidiobolus</em>, <em>Cryptococcus</em>, <em>Curvularia</em>, <em>Exophiala</em>, <em>Exserohilum</em>, <em>Flavobacterium</em>, <em>Fonsecaea</em>, <em>Fusarium</em>, <em>Fusobacterium</em>, <em>Hendersonula</em>, <em>Hypomyces</em>, <em>Koserella</em>, <em>Lelliottia</em>, <em>Leptosphaeria</em>, <em>Leptotrichia</em>, <em>Malassezia</em>, <em>Malbranchea</em>, <em>Mortierella</em>, <em>Mucor</em>, <em>Mycocentrospora</em>, <em>Mycoplasma</em>, <em>Nectria</em>, <em>Ochroconis</em>, <em>Oidiodendron</em>, <em>Phoma</em>, <em>Piedraia</em>, <em>Pithomyces</em>, <em>Pityrosporum</em>, <em>Prevotella</em>, <em>Pseudallescheria</em>, <em>Rhizomucor</em>, <em>Rhizopus</em>, <em>Rhodotorula</em>, <em>Scolecobasidium</em>, <em>Scopulariopsis</em>, <em>Scytalidium</em>, <em>Sporobolomyces</em>, <em>Stachybotrys</em>, <em>Stomatococcus</em>, <em>Treponema</em>, <em>Trichoderma</em>, <em>Trichophyton</em>, <em>Trichosporon</em>, <em>Tritirachium</em> or <em>Ureaplasma</em>. <strong>Group 3</strong> consists of all other microorganisms.</p>
<p>All characters in \(x\) and \(n\) are ignored that are other than A-Z, a-z, 0-9, spaces and parentheses.</p>
<p>All matches are sorted descending on their matching score and for all user input values, the top match will be returned. This will lead to the effect that e.g., <code>"E. coli"</code> will return the microbial ID of <em>Escherichia coli</em> (\(m = 0.688\), a highly prevalent microorganism found in humans) and not <em>Entamoeba coli</em> (\(m = 0.079\), a less prevalent microorganism in humans), although the latter would alphabetically come first.</p>
<p>Since <code>AMR</code> version 1.8.1, common microorganism abbreviations are ignored in determining the matching score. These abbreviations are currently: AIEC, ATEC, BORSA, CRSM, DAEC, EAEC, EHEC, EIEC, EPEC, ETEC, GISA, MRPA, MRSA, MRSE, MSSA, MSSE, NMEC, PISP, PRSP, STEC, UPEC, VISA, VISP, VRE, VRSA and VRSP.</p>
