The document describes the use of the concept property and the presentation
of results in clinical microbiology. Systematic names in clinical microbio
logy require the use of a nominal-scale kind-of-property to describe taxono
my. For this purpose the kind-of-property "taxon" is introduced. The docume
nt further lists properties commonly used in clinical microbiology. The doc
ument follows the IUPAC-IFCC systematic syntax, and this creates a basis fo
r integration of the format of clinical microbiology laboratory reports in
the general clinical laboratory sciences laboratory reports format.
