Four hundred and seventy-eight pregnant women attending local authority clinics in Portsmouth were screened for bacteriuria using the dip-inoculum transport medium (DITM) spoon method. The detection of asymptomatic bacteriuria in 5% of the patients with a very low proportion of equivocal results (0.83%) suggests that this is an efficient method; and large numbers of urine specimens could be sampled with relatively little work for the laboratory. A cystine-MacConkey medium was devised for incorporation in the spoons. General practitioners treated the women with bacteriuria, and remained responsible for home delivery and postpartum examinations. The possibility of successful cooperation between non-hospital clinics, a bacteriological laboratory, and general practitioners is demonstrated.
对478名在朴茨茅斯地方当局诊所就诊的孕妇，采用浸种转运培养基（DITM）勺法进行菌尿筛查。在5%的患者中检测到无症状菌尿，且结果存疑的比例极低（0.83%），这表明该方法有效；并且实验室只需相对较少的工作量就能对大量尿液标本进行采样。设计了一种胱氨酸-麦康凯培养基用于加入勺中。全科医生对菌尿症女性进行治疗，并负责家庭分娩和产后检查。证明了非医院诊所、细菌学实验室和全科医生之间成功合作的可能性。
