The numbers of vaginal swabs, faecal specimens, throat swabs, and urine specimens submitted by 104 city general practitioners to the bacteriology laboratory at Aberdeen differed widely. The doctors who made most use of the laboratory service rarely did so equally for all four investigations but usually for only one or two. Similarly, those who used the service least often made frequent use of one particular investigation. Further studies are needed to identify and evaluate the reasons for the apparently substantial disagreement among general practitioners concerning the value of these diffferent bacteriological investigations in general practice.
104位城市全科医生提交至阿伯丁细菌学实验室的阴道拭子、粪便标本、咽喉拭子及尿液标本数量差异很大。最常使用实验室服务的医生在这四项检查中并非对所有检查都同等频繁地使用,通常仅进行一两项检查。同样,那些最少使用该服务的医生却频繁进行某一项特定检查。需要进一步研究以查明并评估全科医生之间对于这些不同细菌学检查在全科医疗中的价值为何明显存在巨大分歧的原因。
