[A system of processing data of clinical microbiology laboratories].
The COBAS BACT automized system (Hoffman la Roche, Switzerland) was used in the practical work of the laboratory of clinical microbiology. The analyzer performed two functions i.e. the identification of gram-negative pathogens of the family Enterobacteriaceae and the rapid assay of their susceptibility to antibacterial drugs. The primary computer processing was embedded in the COBAS BACT machine. An information system providing the automatization of the secondary processing of the results of microbiological tests was developed. It included not only a system of the data bases for storage of the information and accumulation of the statistical data on the assays and their results but also the automized position of the microbiologist providing the possibility of the statistical information accumulation and reading. The CLIPPER program was used as a basis for the system development. The results of the secondary computer processing are illustrated by the actualities of the determination of the etiological factor of postoperative meningitis and septicemia carried out in 1993.
