This package contains the \strong{complete microbial taxonomic data} (with all  seven taxonomic ranks - from subkingdom to subspecies) from the publicly available Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS, \url{https://www.itis.gov}).

All (sub)species from the \strong{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 \strong{allows users to use authoritative taxonomic information} for their data analysis on any microorganism, not only human pathogens. It also helps to \strong{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].
