Comparison of different urine culture methods in urinary tract infection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Midstream urine specimen cultures play an important role in assisting clinicians to choose antibiotics to remove urinary tract pathogens. At present, there are many culture methods for obtaining midstream urine specimens. In this article, different urine culture methods were compared to improve the detection rate of pathogenic bacteria in patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Methods

Urina sanguinis specimens were collected from 90 outpatients and inpatients who had UTI symptoms, had been clinically diagnosed with UTI between February and March 2021, and had been tested within 2 h using the conventional 1-µL culture method, the modified 100-µL culture method, and the centrifugal urine sediment culture method. After incubation at 35 °C with 5% carbon dioxi
