The use of a solid reagent in the triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (T.T.C.) test for significant bacteriuria is described. The reagent gave a positive result with 108 (86%) of 126 specimens of urine containing over 100,000 organisms per ml. In comparison with the standard T.T.C. test the modified test gave comparable results. Some possible reasons for the varying results obtained by different users of the T.T.C. test are discussed.
本文描述了在使用氯化三苯四氮唑(T.T.C.)检测显著菌尿时使用固体试剂的方法。该试剂对每毫升含菌量超过100,000的126份尿液样本中的108份(86%)给出了阳性结果。与标准T.T.C.检测相比,改良检测得到了相似的结果。文中讨论了不同使用者进行T.T.C.检测时结果各异的一些可能原因。
