The Urotest AB was used to detect antimicrobial substances in urine samples. Of 1022 urine specimens evaluated, Urotest AB detected inhibitors in 38.9%. Of 159 urine specimens from patients thought to be taking an antibiotic, inhibitors were detected in 80.5%. This test may help to explain culture negative urine samples from symptomatic patients, and could help elucidate treatment failures and the epidemiology of antibiotic resistance.
使用Urotest AB检测尿液样本中的抗菌物质。在评估的1022份尿液标本中，Urotest AB检测出抑制剂的比例为38.9%。在159份被认为正在服用抗生素的患者的尿液标本中，检测出抑制剂的比例为80.5%。该检测可能有助于解释有症状患者的尿培养阴性样本，并有助于阐明治疗失败及抗生素耐药性的流行病学情况。
