Abstract
A gas-chromatographic method for the diagnosis of urinary tract infections caused by Escherichia coli and Klebsiella sp. is described. A total of 96 urine samples from individuals with clinical symptoms of urinary tract infection or pyrexia of unknown origin were tested by conventional and gas-chromatographic methods for bacteriuria. The gas-chromatographic method showed complete agreement with the conventional method in diagnosing all of 16 cases of bacteriuria caused by E. coli and 4 cases caused by Klebsiella sp. The remaining two cases of bacteriuria, caused by other bacteria, were not detected by the gas-chromatographic method.Entities:
