Numerical taxonomy of motile anaerobic curved rods isolated from vaginal discharge.

Numerical analysis of phenotypic data on 38 strains of anaerobic curved rods (CR) and 7 reference strains indicated that the curved rods could be split into two types, anaerobic long (LCR) and short curved rods (SCR). In addition, a subcluster was formed within the cluster of SCR by strains that are both morphologically and biochemically intermediate between the LCR and SCR group. None of the reference strains could be grouped into the clusters of CR. DNA-base composition was 52-54 mol% GC for LCR and 56-58 mol% GC for SCR. Serologically the two groups are distinct.

The BACTLAB system - a data system for bacteriological routine.

An implemented version of a data system for routine bacteriology is described which uses punch cards to capture all administrative data and OMR (optical mark recognition) documents for the bacteriological findings: diagnosis, antibiotic sensitivity patterns, phage type etc. The output includes reports for the customers and report lists for the laboratory, as well as surveys over findings of pertinent bacteria produced twice each month. In addition bills are produced at regular intervals, both for hospitals and for private patients. All results are stored on magnetic tape in order to make later analysis possible. The system has also been adapted for use in a research project for the study of postoperative infections.
