 Use this function to get a valid microorganism code (\code{\link{mo}}) based on arbitrary user input. Determination is done using intelligent rules and the complete taxonomic tree of the kingdoms Animalia, Archaea, Bacteria, Chromista, and Protozoa, and most microbial species from the kingdom Fungi (see \emph{Source}). The input can be almost anything: a full name (like \code{"Staphylococcus aureus"}), an abbreviated name (such as \code{"S. aureus"}), an abbreviation known in the field (such as \code{"MRSA"}), or just a genus. See \emph{Examples}.

 The \code{\link[=as.mo]{as.mo()}} function uses a novel and scientifically validated (\doi{10.18637/jss.v104.i03}) matching score algorithm (see \emph{Matching Score for Microorganisms} below) to match input against the \link[=microorganisms]{available microbial taxonomy} in this package. This implicates that e.g. \code{"E. coli"} (a microorganism highly prevalent in humans) will return the microbial ID of \emph{Escherichia coli} and not \emph{Entamoeba coli} (a microorganism less prevalent in humans), although the latter would alphabetically come first.
 \subsection{Coping with Uncertain Results}{
 
-Results of non-exact taxonomic input are based on their \link[=mo_matching_score]{matching score}. The lowest allowed score can be set with the \code{minimum_matching_score} argument. At default this will be determined based on the character length of the input, and the \link[=microorganisms]{taxonomic kingdom} and \link[=mo_matching_score]{human pathogenicity} of the taxonomic outcome. If values are matched with uncertainty, a message will be shown to suggest the user to evaluate the results with \code{\link[=mo_uncertainties]{mo_uncertainties()}}, which returns a \link{data.frame} with all specifications.

-To increase the quality of matching, the \code{cleaning_regex} argument can be used to clean the input (i.e., \code{x}). This must be a \link[base:regex]{regular expression} that matches parts of the input that should be removed before the input is matched against the \link[=microorganisms]{available microbial taxonomy}. It will be matched Perl-compatible and case-insensitive. The default value of \code{cleaning_regex} is the outcome of the helper function \code{\link[=mo_cleaning_regex]{mo_cleaning_regex()}}.
