The value of incubating urine cultures for 1 versus 2 days was evaluated prospectively for 1526 consecutive specimens. A total of 507 cultures (33.2%) were positive after 1 day; 41 (2.7%) showed different results after 2 days. Only yeasts and corynebacteria were detected more often with longer incubation. Patient charts were available for review from 27 of 41 late positives; in only three instances (11.1%) was action taken by physicians based on these results.
对1526份连续样本前瞻性评估了尿液培养1天与2天的价值。1天后共有507份培养物(33.2%)呈阳性;41份(2.7%)在2天后显示出不同结果。仅延长培养时间时酵母和棒状杆菌检测得更频繁。可获取41份后期阳性样本中27份的患者病历;仅在3例(11.1%)中医生根据这些结果采取了行动。
