## Fetch Positive Reference Host-Pathogen Protein-Protein Interactions (HP-PPIs) from the BioGRID Database

### Description

This function retrieves positive reference host-pathogen protein-protein interactions directly from BioGRID database.

### Usage

    get_positivePPI(
      organism.taxID,
      access.key,
      filename = "PositiveInt.RData",
      path = "PositiveInt"
    )

### Arguments

`organism.taxID` | Taxonomy identifier for the pathogen.
`access.key` | Access key for using BioGRID webpage. To retrieve interactions from the BioGRID database, the users are first required to register for access key at https://webservice.thebiogrid.org/.
`filename` | A character string, indicating the output filename as an RData object to store the retrieved interactions.
`path` | A character string indicating the path to the project directory that contains the interaction data. If the directory is missing, it will be stored in the current directory. Default is PositiveInt.
