title: [The introduction of automation and systematization in the department of microbiology].
abstract: The Department of Laboratory Medicine is considered to be the transmission subdivision of medical information. However, most of the information is provided from the subdivisions of clinical chemistry, hematology and immunology. Moreover, the information is slowly transferred from the subdivision of microbiology. The Department of Laboratory Medicine at Saga Medical School developed a flexible microbiological test & information system in 1998, called Dr. Fleming. However, many methods of operation, effects, and problems are associated with the standardization and introduction of such a system. Therefore, the ideas of leaders in the field of microbiology and infectious disease will be discussed before establishing this system.
