Get Properties of a Microorganism

Description

Use these functions to return a specific property of a microorganism based on the latest accepted taxonomy. All input values will be evaluated internally with as.mo(), which makes it possible to use microbial abbreviations, codes and names as input. See Examples.

Arguments

x

any character (vector) that can be coerced to a valid microorganism code with as.mo(). Can be left blank for auto-guessing the column containing microorganism codes if used in a data set, see Examples.

language

language to translate text like "no growth", which defaults to the system language (see get_AMR_locale())

keep_synonyms

a logical to indicate if old, previously valid taxonomic names must be preserved and not be corrected to currently accepted names. The default is FALSE, which will return a note if old taxonomic names were processed. The default can be set with the package option AMR_keep_synonyms, i.e. options(AMR_keep_synonyms = TRUE) or options(AMR_keep_synonyms = FALSE).

...

other arguments passed on to as.mo(), such as 'minimum_matching_score', 'ignore_pattern', and 'remove_from_input'

ab

any (vector of) text that can be coerced to a valid antibiotic drug code with as.ab()

open

browse the URL using browseURL()

property

one of the column names of the microorganisms data set: "mo", "fullname", "status", "kingdom", "phylum", "class", "order", "family", "genus", "species", "subspecies", "rank", "ref", "oxygen_tolerance", "source", "lpsn", "lpsn_parent", "lpsn_renamed_to", "gbif", "gbif_parent", "gbif_renamed_to", "prevalence", or "snomed", or must be "shortname"

Details

All functions will, at default, not keep old taxonomic properties, as synonyms are automatically replaced with the current taxonomy. Take for example Enterobacter aerogenes, which was initially named in 1960 but renamed to Klebsiella aerogenes in 2017:

  • mo_genus("Enterobacter aerogenes") will return "Klebsiella" (with a note about the renaming)

  • mo_genus("Enterobacter aerogenes", keep_synonyms = TRUE) will return "Enterobacter" (with a once-per-session warning that the name is outdated)

  • mo_ref("Enterobacter aerogenes") will return "Tindall et al., 2017" (with a note)

  • mo_ref("Enterobacter aerogenes", keep_synonyms = TRUE) will return "Hormaeche et al., 1960" (with a warning)

The short name (mo_shortname()) returns the first character of the genus and the full species, such as "E. coli", for species and subspecies. Exceptions are abbreviations of staphylococci (such as "CoNS", Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci) and beta-haemolytic streptococci (such as "GBS", Group B Streptococci). Please bear in mind that e.g. E. coli could mean Escherichia coli (kingdom of Bacteria) as well as Entamoeba coli (kingdom of Protozoa). Returning to the full name will be done using as.mo() internally, giving priority to bacteria and human pathogens, i.e. "E. coli" will be considered Escherichia coli. As a result, mo_fullname(mo_shortname("Entamoeba coli")) returns "Escherichia coli".

Since the top-level of the taxonomy is sometimes referred to as 'kingdom' and sometimes as 'domain', the functions mo_kingdom() and mo_domain() return the exact same results.

Determination of human pathogenicity (mo_pathogenicity()) is strongly based on Bartlett et al. (2022, \Sexpr[results=rd]{tools:::Rd_expr_doi("10.1099/mic.0.001269")}). This function returns a factor with the levels Pathogenic, Potentially pathogenic, Non-pathogenic, and Unknown.

Determination of the Gram stain (mo_gramstain()) will be based on the taxonomic kingdom and phylum. Originally, Cavalier-Smith defined the so-called subkingdoms Negibacteria and Posibacteria (2002, PMID 11837318), and only considered these phyla as Posibacteria: Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi, Firmicutes, and Tenericutes. These phyla were later renamed to Actinomycetota, Chloroflexota, Bacillota, and Mycoplasmatota (2021, PMID 34694987). Bacteria in these phyla are considered Gram-positive in this AMR package, except for members of the class Negativicutes (within phylum Bacillota) which are Gram-negative. All other bacteria are considered Gram-negative. Species outside the kingdom of Bacteria will return a value NA. Functions mo_is_gram_negative() and mo_is_gram_positive() always return TRUE or FALSE (or NA when the input is NA or the MO code is UNKNOWN), thus always return FALSE for species outside the taxonomic kingdom of Bacteria.

Determination of yeasts (mo_is_yeast()) will be based on the taxonomic kingdom and class. Budding yeasts are fungi of the phylum Ascomycota, class Saccharomycetes (also called Hemiascomycetes). True yeasts are aggregated into the underlying order Saccharomycetales. Thus, for all microorganisms that are member of the taxonomic class Saccharomycetes, the function will return TRUE. It returns FALSE otherwise (or NA when the input is NA or the MO code is UNKNOWN).

Determination of intrinsic resistance (mo_is_intrinsic_resistant()) will be based on the intrinsic_resistant data set, which is based on 'EUCAST Expert Rules' and 'EUCAST Intrinsic Resistance and Unusual Phenotypes' v3.3 (2021). The mo_is_intrinsic_resistant() function can be vectorised over both argument x (input for microorganisms) and ab (input for antibiotics).

Determination of bacterial oxygen tolerance (mo_oxygen_tolerance()) will be based on BacDive, see Source. The function mo_is_anaerobic() only returns TRUE if the oxygen tolerance is "anaerobe", indicting an obligate anaerobic species or genus. It always returns FALSE for species outside the taxonomic kingdom of Bacteria.

The function mo_url() will return the direct URL to the online database entry, which also shows the scientific reference of the concerned species.

SNOMED codes (mo_snomed()) are from the version of July 1st, 2021. See Source and the microorganisms data set for more info.

Old taxonomic names (so-called 'synonyms') can be retrieved with mo_synonyms() (which will have the scientific reference as name), the current taxonomic name can be retrieved with mo_current(). Both functions return full names.

All output will be translated where possible.

Value

  • An integer in case of mo_year()

  • An ordered factor in case of mo_pathogenicity()

  • A list in case of mo_taxonomy(), mo_synonyms(), mo_snomed() and mo_info()

  • A named character in case of mo_url()

  • A character in all other cases

Matching Score for Microorganisms

This function uses as.mo() internally, which uses an advanced algorithm to translate arbitrary user input to valid taxonomy using a so-called matching score. You can read about this public algorithm on the MO matching score page.
