[3] Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) on-line database, https://www.itis.gov.
This package contains the complete microbial taxonomic data (with all nine taxonomic ranks - from kingdom to subspecies) from the publicly available Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS, https://www.itis.gov).
All ~20,000 (sub)species from the taxonomic kingdoms Bacteria, Fungi and Protozoa are included in this package, as well as all ~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 all bacteria are classified into subkingdom Negibacteria or Posibacteria.
ITIS is a partnership of U.S., Canadian, and Mexican agencies and taxonomic specialists [3].
On our website https://msberends.gitlab.io/AMR you can find a omprehensive tutorial about how to conduct AMR analysis and find the complete documentation of all functions, which reads a lot easier than in R.
