Urinary tract infections (UTI) are very common throughout life and account for the majority of the workload in the clinical microbiology laboratory. Clear instructions for the interpretation of urine cultures by the laboratory technicians are indispensable to obtain standardized, reliable, and clinically useful results. In literature, there is often a lack of evidence-based practice in processing urinary samples in the laboratory. In this consensus document, the BILULU Study Group presents a practical approach for the implementation of existing guidelines for the culture of urine in the microbiology laboratory and offers answers for issues where no clear solution is available in the guidelines.
尿路感染（UTI）在一生中都非常常见，并且占临床微生物实验室大部分工作量。实验室技术人员对尿培养结果解读的明确指导对于获得标准化、可靠且具有临床实用性的结果而言必不可少。在文献中，实验室处理尿液样本时常常缺乏循证实践。在这份共识文件中，BILULU研究小组提出了一种实用方法，用于在微生物实验室实施现有的尿液培养指南，并为指南中没有明确解决方案的问题提供答案。
