Project ABIS 6
ABIS (Advanced Bacterial Identification Software) project started in 2003 as a MS-DOS-based program for clinically significant Enterobacteriaceae identification, using biochemical characters, morphology, growth conditions, ecology & pathogenicity data. In one year program reached version 4, upgrading with 3 more genera: Bacillus, Streptococcus & Staphylococcus. ABIS 5 was released in 2005 with major changes including an easy to use Windows based interface, step by step identification for Gram positive & negative bacteria, rods / cocci (Genera only), identification maps and 2 more families included: Pasteurellaceae ( Pasteurella, Actinobacillus, Haemophilus) & Pseudomonadaceae. Also, Bacillus, Enterobacteriaceae & Staphylococcus databases were updated and the biochemical test list, used for identification, was extended.
Continuous changes in bacteria taxonomy forced us to temporarily freeze the development of the stand-alone version and focus on the online development. In the year 2007 "ABIS 6 online" linked with a germs Encyclopedia and hosted by "REGNVM PROKARYOTAE", was officially released for public use.
