[Bacteriuria detection by dip-slide test (author's transl)]. 1976

M Molinas, and G Ambrosoli, and F Allevato, and M G Menozzi

A new dip-inoculum method markated as Microstix for detecting bacteriuria was studied to evaluate its usefulness as a screening procedure. This test was found to be reliable when compared with the standard pour plate method. However, antimicrobial agents often present in the urine samples rendered this procedure unsuitable for indiscriminate application in large hospital laboratories. This technique might conceivably be employed in mass screening programs where urine specimens are less likely contamined by antimicrobial drugs.

D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.
