Blasted bacteria, fungi and viruses (from the Source Organism List) were submitted to the NCBI Taxonomy Browser (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi) to infer the pathogenicity/commensalism to humans. If the information regarding the searched organism host was not available, the extensive literature search was performed instead. In borderline cases, when only rare infections in humans for a given organism had been detected or a given organism had been detected in samples of human origin, without being firmly established as a constituent of human microbiome, a given organism was assigned as putative human pathogen/commensal.
