| − | I would like to create sort of stepwise dichotomous key for identifying bacterial isolates from the lab. I thought about doing this with an object oriented programming approach but it might take more time for me to re-learn how to write such code and perhaps it would be more useful as an online resource.

| − | My idea was to make a bunch of final pages with names of specific bacteria species and have each of these contain a number of attributes. The user would begin with a list of all possible bacteria and a series of interactive prompts would allow him/her to refine the list. For instance one obvious test would be a gram stain. If it was negative then only show those species that are gram negative. From there you could have prompts including if the species was catalase or oxidase positive/negative and so on. The final page would link to WikiVet's article on that particular organism to integrate better with the system.

| − | This is very much just an idea at this stage and I'm not sure how to go about implementing it exactly. I'd need to do some research on object oriented approaches with HTML. Just thought I'd throw this up in case anyone else thinks it could be useful or has ideas on how to make it more useful?
