A total of 845 strains of Gram negative, fermenting rods isolated from humans were routinely identified using a desk‐top computer. A reduced matrix of 54 taxa x 29 tests was used for a multistep procedure. By an average number of 24 tests, 97–5% of strains reached an identification score of P < 0.9.
