TABLE 4.

Examples of the original analysis when the biochemical results for strains 1 and 2 were run in the computer program GEORGE (version 99A), which did not contain Enteric Group 137 in its database^a

Strain	Program choiceb	Identification score
		Raw	Normalized
1c	K. cryocrescens	0.000001	0.842321

^aOnly the first set of identification scores is given (out of the 12 sets actually done), but it is the most important. 

^bThe species listed first is the best identification. 

^cTest results incompatible with K. cryocrescens (expected percent positive at day 1 or 2): gas from glucose (95%), citrate (Simmons) (80%), and malonate utilization (86%). The strain had a negative reaction in each test. 

^dTest results incompatible with C. farmeri (expected percent positive, strain reaction): gas from glucose (99%, negative), salicin fermentation (7%, positive), esculin hydrolysis (1%, positive), lactose fermentation (13%, positive).
