Abstract
The results of enumeration of viable organisms in freshly voided urine were compared by counting the colonies after serial dilution and by spreading a standard loopful of the same urine over the surface of an agar plate. The simpler loop technique appears to be sufficiently accurate for clinical purposes.Keywords
