Abstract
ONE of the major impediments to widespread screening for the presence of bacteriuria is the absence of a simple and inexpensive method that is also reliable. Chemical tests presently available, as well as cultural methods of proved validity, have failed to meet these demands, and have not been as widely accepted as might be desired.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Recently, Guttmann and Naylor10 described a simple method for cultivation of bacteria from the urine, using an ordinary glass microscopical slide that had been coated with appropriate culture medium. The simplicity of this method and its comparability to standard colony-counting technics were of sufficient appeal . . .This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
