A data set containing commonly used codes for microorganisms, from laboratory systems and WHONET. Define your own with set_mo_source(). They will all be searched when using as.mo() and consequently all the mo_* functions.

Usage

microorganisms.codes

Format

A data.frame with 5,604 observations and 2 variables:

  • code
    Commonly used code of a microorganism

  • mo
    ID of the microorganism in the microorganisms data set

Reference Data Publicly Available

All reference data sets (about microorganisms, antibiotics, R/SI interpretation, EUCAST rules, etc.) in this AMR package are publicly and freely available. We continually export our data sets to formats for use in R, SPSS, SAS, Stata and Excel. We also supply flat files that are machine-readable and suitable for input in any software program, such as laboratory information systems. Please find all download links on our website, which is automatically updated with every code change.

Catalogue of Life


This package contains the complete taxonomic tree of almost all microorganisms (~71,000 species) from the authoritative and comprehensive Catalogue of Life (CoL, http://www.catalogueoflife.org). The CoL is the most comprehensive and authoritative global index of species currently available. Nonetheless, we supplemented the CoL data with data from the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN, lpsn.dsmz.de). This supplementation is needed until the CoL+ project is finished, which we await.
