  • Title: [Data on a comparison between a rapid test and urine culture for the determination of bacteriuria].
    Author: Peretti P, Zurlini C, Ghinelli P, Colombrita D.
    Journal: Minerva Med; 1978 Apr 28; 69(20):1375-82. PubMed ID: 662163.
    Abstract:
    A streep test has been employed for bacteriuria involving identification of nitrites in the urine and results are compared with those obtained with classical bacteriological techniques. Parallel performance of the nitrite test and urine culture showed that the latter cannot be replaced as far as diagnosis goes but it also proved the usefulness of the nitrite test for mass screening purposes.
