Answer: MYCIN
was an early expert system that used artificial intelligence to identify
bacteria causing severe infections, such as bacteraemia and meningitis, and to
recommend antibiotics, with the dosage adjusted for patient’s body weight – the
name derived from the antibiotics themselves, as many antibiotics have the
suffix “-MYCIN”. The MYCIN system was also used for the diagnosis of blood
clotting diseases. Erythromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that has an
antimicrobial spectrum similar to or slightly wider than that of penicillin,
and is often prescribed for people who have an allergy t penicillins. For
respiratory tract infections, it has better coverage of atypical organisms,
including Mycoplasma and legionellosis.
