The bacterial flora of the female periurethral area was studied by impression cultures taken by polystyrene sponges, the results being recorded by photographic contact printing. With this technique it is possible to observe the preferential colonisation of different areas by different organisms and to detect persistent colonisation by pathogens. In assessing the possible aetiological importance of these results, and especially in comparing them with the findings of other workers, it is essential to use correct anatomical nomenclature.
采用聚苯乙烯海绵进行印模培养，研究女性尿道周围区域的细菌菌群，通过照相接触印片记录结果。利用这项技术，可以观察到不同微生物对不同区域的优先定植情况，并检测病原体的持续定植。在评估这些结果可能的病因学重要性时，尤其是在将它们与其他研究人员的发现进行比较时，使用正确的解剖学命名法至关重要。
