  • Title: [Bacteriuria. Bacteriological diagnosis and sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents].
    Author: Grassi L, Cava L, Pozzoli R, Chiodo F.
    Journal: Arch Sci Med (Torino); 1977; 134(2):125-36. PubMed ID: 869699.
    Abstract:
    In a brief introduction, methods for collecting urine and diagnosis criteria are reviewed. Data relative to a study of about 10,000 samples of urine from patients admitted to various departments of the Milan Ca' Granda Hospital in 1975 are then reported. The frequencies of the various species of bacteria isolated in cases of bacteriuria are reported. Those occurring most frequently were Proteus (40.7%) of whose four species, Proteus mirabilis and Proteus rettgeri cover almost all cases, and Escherichia coli (26.1%). As for individual isolated microrganisms, the sensitivity to 13 chemotherapeutic agents was tested. E. coli, Klebsiella and Enterococcus demonstrated a high degree of sensitivity with respect to the majority of antibiotics considered.
