Abstract
An intelligent system to examine the influence of the demographic variables of gender, blood type, and race on the distribution of skin staphylococci bacteria on neonates was designed. The system was based on a supervised neural network. Our study suggests that demographic variables are major factors influencing staphylococcal distribution
