A computer identification system, previously described, was tested on 279 β‐galactosidase‐positive enterobacteria isolated from clinical material, and the results compared with API and Micro ID methods. The system was also applied to the identification of 564 strains isolated from drinking water samples. Faecal coliform species and also some new groups and species of aquatic and telluric origin characterized by numerical analysis and DNA‐DNA hybridization procedures could be identified. The performance of the computer identification system with bacterial isolates from food and water is discussed.
