A data set containing the full microbial taxonomy (last updated: 11 December, 2022) of five kingdoms from the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). This data set is the backbone of this AMR package. MO codes can be looked up using as.mo().
Format
A tibble with 52,140 observations and 22 variables:
mo
ID of microorganism as used by this packagefullname
Full name, like"Escherichia coli". For the taxonomic ranks genus, species and subspecies, this is the 'pasted' text of genus, species, and subspecies. For all taxonomic ranks higher than genus, this is the name of the taxon.status
Status of the taxon, either "accepted" or "synonym"kingdom,phylum,class,order,family,genus,species,subspecies
Taxonomic rank of the microorganismrank
Text of the taxonomic rank of the microorganism, such as"species"or"genus"ref
Author(s) and year of related scientific publication. This contains only the first surname and year of the latest authors, e.g. "Wallis et al. 2006 emend. Smith and Jones 2018" becomes "Smith et al., 2018". This field is directly retrieved from the source specified in the columnsource. Moreover, accents were removed to comply with CRAN that only allows ASCII characters, e.g. "Váňová" becomes "Vanova".lpsn
Identifier ('Record number') of the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN). This will be the first/highest LPSN identifier to keep one identifier per row. For example, Acetobacter ascendens has LPSN Record number 7864 and 11011. Only the first is available in themicroorganismsdata set.lpsn_parent

Details
Please note that entries are only based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) (see below). Since these sources incorporate entries based on (recent) publications in the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (IJSEM), it can happen that the year of publication is sometimes later than one might expect.
For example, Staphylococcus pettenkoferi was described for the first time in Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease in 2002 (doi:10.1016/s0732-8893(02)00399-1
), but it was not before 2007 that a publication in IJSEM followed (doi:10.1099/ijs.0.64381-0
). Consequently, the AMR package returns 2007 for mo_year("S. pettenkoferi").
Included Taxa
Included taxonomic data are:
All ~36,000 (sub)species from the kingdoms of Archaea and Bacteria
~7,900 (sub)species from the kingdom of Fungi. The kingdom of Fungi is a very large taxon with almost 300,000 different (sub)species, of which most are not microbial (but rather macroscopic, like mushrooms). Because of this, not all fungi fit the scope of this package. Only relevant fungi are covered (such as all species of Aspergillus, Candida, Cryptococcus, Histoplasma, Pneumocystis, Saccharomyces and Trichophyton).
~5,100 (sub)species from the kingdom of Protozoa
~1,400 (sub)species from ~40 other relevant genera from the kingdom of Animalia (such as Strongyloides and Taenia)
All ~9,800 previously accepted names of all included (sub)species (these were taxonomically renamed)
The complete taxonomic tree of all included (sub)species: from kingdom to subspecies
The identifier of the parent taxons
The year and first author of the related scientific publication
Manual additions
For convenience, some entries were added manually:
~1,500 entries for the city-like serovars of Salmonellae
11 entries of Streptococcus (beta-haemolytic: groups A, B, C, D, F, G, H, K and unspecified; other: viridans, milleri)
2 entries of Staphylococcus (coagulase-negative (CoNS) and coagulase-positive (CoPS))
1 entry of Blastocystis (B. hominis), although it officially does not exist (Noel et al. 2005, PMID 15634993)
1 entry of Moraxella (M. catarrhalis), which was formally named Branhamella catarrhalis (Catlin, 1970) though this change was never accepted within the field of clinical microbiology
6 other 'undefined' entries (unknown, unknown Gram negatives, unknown Gram positives, unknown yeast, unknown fungus, and unknown anaerobic bacteria)

Direct download
Like all data sets in this package, this data set is publicly available for download in the following formats: R, MS Excel, Apache Feather, Apache Parquet, SPSS, SAS, and Stata. Please visit our website for the download links. The actual files are of course available on our GitHub repository.
About the Records from LPSN (see Source)
LPSN is the main source for bacteriological taxonomy of this AMR package.
The List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) provides comprehensive information on the nomenclature of prokaryotes. LPSN is a free to use service founded by Jean P. Euzeby in 1997 and later on maintained by Aidan C. Parte.
