Abstract
We describe a knowledge-based system for microbiological laboratory data validation and bacterial infection monitoring. The knowledge base has been obtained from international standard guidelines for microbiological laboratory practice, from experts´ suggestions and from data mining. In this paper, we evaluate the system in terms of accuracy on a test data set.
