Since detection of asymptomatic bacteriuria among inpatients often leads to inappropriate antimicrobial treatment, we studied why urine cultures were ordered and correlates of treatment. Most cultures were obtained from patients without urinary complaints and a minority from asymptomatic patients. High-count bacteriuria, not clinical manifestations, appeared to trigger most antimicrobial use.
由于住院患者中无症状菌尿的检测常常导致不恰当的抗菌治疗，我们研究了进行尿培养的原因以及治疗的相关因素。大多数培养样本来自无泌尿系统症状的患者，少数来自无症状患者。似乎是高菌尿计数而非临床表现引发了大多数抗菌药物的使用。
