Abstract

The resources needed to operate a microbiology laboratory are known only as rough approximations. In order to gather more information about these resources, a 13-page questionnaire was completed by 50 pathology departments, of which 38 departments provided adequate information about their microbiology sections to permit data analysis. This study reports the results for resource and work load factors and significant regression analyses among these factors for the whole microbiology section and the subsections of aerobic bacteriology, anaerobic bacteriology, mycobacteriology , mycology, parasitology, virology, and antibiotic sensitivity. These data provide a basis for evaluating the current needs of microbiology laboratories and for making projections for the future.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
