We compared urine culturing performed by the calibrated loop method with a screening system (BACTEC). A total of 852 urine specimens were examined by both the conventional loop method and the BACTEC system. With the loop method, 193 (22.6%) urine samples were positive, whereas with the BACTEC system, 185 (21.7%) were positive (sensitivity, 96.01%). At a breakpoint of 10(4) CFU/ml, eight false-negatives were detected (sensitivity, 87.09%), and at a breakpoint of 10(5) CFU/ml, four false-negatives were observed (sensitivity, 97.6%). The specificity of the BACTEC system was 100%. We propose the BACTEC method as an effective alternative to the other growth-dependent screening tests for bacteriuria.
我们将校准定量环法进行的尿液培养与一种筛查系统(BACTEC)进行了比较。总共852份尿液标本通过传统定量环法和BACTEC系统进行了检测。采用定量环法时,193份(22.6%)尿液样本呈阳性,而采用BACTEC系统时,185份(21.7%)呈阳性(敏感性为96.01%)。在10⁴CFU/ml的分界点时,检测到8例假阴性(敏感性为87.09%),在10⁵CFU/ml的分界点时,观察到4例假阴性(敏感性为97.6%)。BACTEC系统的特异性为100%。我们建议将BACTEC方法作为其他依赖细菌生长的菌尿筛查试验的有效替代方法。
