Abstract:
An investigation was carried out to assess the feasibility of using an expert systems approach to assist in the identification of unknown isolates of bacteria. A system was developed using Lisp which utilized the knowledge stored in standard bacteriological texts. A comparison of the expert systems approach and the probabilistic approach based on Bayes Theorem was made together with the advantages and disadvantages of each approach.
