[Identification of the principal species of the genus Serratia by a simplified system].
A reduced identification system for the genus Serratia is proposed. The usefulness of this system was shown by identification of 720 strains from clinical specimens or natural environment. Computation of "diagnosis ability coefficient" and principal component analysis made it possible to reduce this identification system to 9 tests. Numerical taxonomy displayed the 9 recognized species.
