Forty-seven strains of yellow-pigmented, non-fermentative, gram-negative, rod-shaped
bacteria isolated from clinical specimens (14 strains), the hospital environment (20 strains) …

Since the introduction of the API 20E kit a number of identification schemes have been
developed by the manufacturer for use with the kit. We evaluated the success of these …

Part A of this review describes the particular computer-assisted identification service
operated by the NCTC. In Part B, the use of probability matrices is examined, discussing …

The general problems of probabilistic identification of bacteria are discussed, particularly
choice of taxa, choice of tests, assignation of probabilities and variation with geographical …

A numerical classification study was carried out on 177 strains of Klebsiella and related
groups. Three methods of numerical classification were used: median sorting, single linkage …

The methods incorporated in the computer program used in a trial of computer-aided
identification of bacteria are described. The identification method is based on Bayes's …

The results of the identification of 1079 reference strains of Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-
shaped bacteria by a probabilistic method in a computer are given. Comparison of …

A simple method for the bacteriocine typing of Serratia marcescens without the use of
induction was sought. The results of a mutual inhibition experiment with 89 unrelated …

Diagnostic tables are used in the identification of biological specimens. A method is
presented which generates subsets of the available tests which meet the requirements of a …

Thirty-three strains of bacteria (30 Enterobacteriaceae and one strain each of Aeromonas
formicans, A. hydrophila, and Plesiomonas shigelloides) were tested three times in each of …
