Tests which are most frequently employed to provide characters for numerical analysis of bacterial taxonomy provide little differentiation among the slow-growing members of the genus Mycobacterium. A special scheme was proposed to deal with this problem. Characters were based, to some extent, on quantitative reactions to tests, and were defined, for each test, in terms of natural clustering behavior of a large collection of assorted strains. Inter- and intrataxon analyses were based on comparisons of reaction patterns with tentative hypothetical median strain patterns. This permitted the analysis of larger numbers of cultures than can be practically studied in a conventional n x n table.
那些最常用于为细菌分类学的数值分析提供特征的测试,在分枝杆菌属生长缓慢的成员之间几乎没有区分度。为此提出了一种特殊方案来处理这个问题。这些特征在一定程度上基于对测试的定量反应,并针对每个测试,根据大量各种菌株的自然聚类行为来定义。分类间和分类内分析基于反应模式与暂定假设中位数菌株模式的比较。这使得能够分析比在传统的n×n表格中实际可研究数量更多的培养物。
