A collaborative evaluation of the MS-2 urine screening system indicated that the automated method could successfully identify at least 84% of urine specimens that contained greater than or equal to 10(5) colony-forming units per ml. Most specimens not detected as positive by the system contained primarily diphtheroids and yeasts. Excluding those specimens which contained diphtheroids and yeasts, the MS-2 system correctly identified as positive 94.8% of specimens that contained greater than or equal to 10(5) colony-forming units per ml and as negative 96.1% of specimens that contained less than 10(4) colony-forming units per ml. The automated system is an attractive method for the screening of urine specimens for significant bacteriuria.
对MS - 2尿液筛查系统的一项联合评估表明，该自动化方法能够成功识别至少84%每毫升含有大于或等于10⁵菌落形成单位的尿液标本。该系统未检测为阳性的大多数标本主要含有类白喉菌和酵母菌。排除那些含有类白喉菌和酵母菌的标本后，MS - 2系统能正确将94.8%每毫升含有大于或等于10⁵菌落形成单位的标本识别为阳性，将96.1%每毫升含有少于10⁴菌落形成单位的标本识别为阴性。该自动化系统是一种用于筛查尿液标本中显著菌尿的有吸引力的方法。
