Descriptions of micro-organisms in patents and journal articles
Patents are selected describing Streptomyces bacteria as producers of antibiotics. The descriptions of the bacteria are analysed into discrete categories. The overlap of these patents by journal literature in this field is found to be 20.5% as regards journal articles containing roughly the same amount of information about the bacteria as the patents. For a further 18.1% the organism is mentioned without descriptive detail in the articles where the main emphasis is on the antibiotic. Time lags between the patent priority and publication dates and the journal publication dates were also recorded.
