Clinical laboratory evaluation of automated microbial detection/identification system in analysis of clinical urine specimens. 1979

H D Isenberg, and T L Gavan, and A Sonnenwirth, and W I Taylor, and J A Washington

More than 4,000 clinical urine specimens were evaluated with an automated microbial detection/identification system compared to a standarized manual analysis and the routine modalities used in five peer-group laboratories. The comparison indicates that the automated system recognizes the nine groups of significant microorganisms in urinary tract infections in hospitalized patients with the same efficiency as a standarized manual method. The automated system's ability to enumerate the bacterial populations in the original clinical specimen attained a high degree of accuracy.

D001419 Bacteria One of the three domains of life (the others being Eukarya and ARCHAEA), also called Eubacteria. They are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms which generally possess rigid cell walls, multiply by cell division, and exhibit three principal forms: round or coccal, rodlike or bacillary, and spiral or spirochetal. Bacteria can be classified by their response to OXYGEN: aerobic, anaerobic, or facultatively anaerobic; by the mode by which they obtain their energy: chemotrophy (via chemical reaction) or PHOTOTROPHY (via light reaction); for chemotrophs by their source of chemical energy: CHEMOLITHOTROPHY (from inorganic compounds) or chemoorganotrophy (from organic compounds); and by their source for CARBON; NITROGEN; etc.; HETEROTROPHY (from organic sources) or AUTOTROPHY (from CARBON DIOXIDE). They can also be classified by whether or not they stain (based on the structure of their CELL WALLS) with CRYSTAL VIOLET dye: gram-negative or gram-positive. Eubacteria
