Abstract
Empirical methods of assigning type designations to the patterns that describe the reactions of a bacterial isolate towards a reference set of indicator (or producer) strains resulted in loss of information and made it difficult to compare published reports. The whole pattern sequence might be considered a binary number and be translated into its decimal counterpart, which may be used as a rational, compact and meaningful type designation for reporting purposes.
