Data set with taxonomic data from ITIS

A data set containing the complete microbial taxonomy of the kingdoms Bacteria, Fungi and Protozoa. MO codes can be looked up using as.mo.

microorganisms

Format

A data.frame with 18,833 observations and 15 variables:

mo

ID of microorganism

tsn

Taxonomic Serial Number (TSN), as defined by ITIS

genus

Taxonomic genus of the microorganism as found in ITIS, see Source

species

Taxonomic species of the microorganism as found in ITIS, see Source

subspecies

Taxonomic subspecies of the microorganism as found in ITIS, see Source

fullname

Full name, like "Echerichia coli"

family

Taxonomic family of the microorganism as found in ITIS, see Source

order

Taxonomic order of the microorganism as found in ITIS, see Source

class

Taxonomic class of the microorganism as found in ITIS, see Source

phylum

Taxonomic phylum of the microorganism as found in ITIS, see Source

subkingdom

Taxonomic subkingdom of the microorganism as found in ITIS, see Source

kingdom

Taxonomic kingdom of the microorganism as found in ITIS, see Source

gramstain

Gram of microorganism, like "Gram negative"

prevalence

An integer based on estimated prevalence of the microorganism in humans. Used internally by 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).

ITIS

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 (sub)species from the taxonomic kingdoms Bacteria, Fungi and Protozoa are included in this package, as well as all 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].
