Diagnosis of Urinary Infections

Abstract

BJomAL 1173 is more confusing than helpful to the family doctor who has to advise the mother on measles vaccination. I have taken part in the Medical Research Council Trial of Vaccination Against Measles.' 2 During the period from 1 February 1964 to 2 June 1964, 39 children in the age group from 8 months to 2 years were vaccinated (22 female and 17 male) with the following vaccines: Nine received vaccine "A" (one subcutaneous injection of 0.5 ml. of live vaccine prepared from the Goffe strain by Wellcome Laboratories, batch M.V. 20.1); 10 received vaccine "B" (one subcutaneous injection of 0.5 ml. of live vaccine prepared from the Schwarz strain by Glaxo Laboratories, batch 18); and 20 received vaccines KA or KB (one intramuscular in ection of 1 ml. of inactivated vaccine K prepared by Pfizer from the Enders-Edmonton strain, batch 6, followed four weeks later by an injection of " A " or " B " live vaccine as above).

Human Infections with Thymine-Requiring Bacteria

“…Routine urine cultures were made by plating a standard 0.01-ml loopful on CLED medium (Mackey and Sandys, 1966). Wound swabs were cultured on blood agar, electrolyte-deficient agar (Sandys, 1960) and MacConkey's agar.…”

Staphylococci as urinary pathogens.

“…(1) Urine specimens were cultured on CLED agar (Mackey and Sandys, 1966) (Buchanan and Gibbons, 1974), and this will be considered in the discussion.) Microscopy was carride out on the deposit after centrifugation at 2000 rpm for 5 minutes.…”

The bacteriological examination of urine: a computer-aided study

“…(three calibrated loopfuls) of urine on 'Wellcotest' sensitivity-test agar (Wellcome Reagents Ltd) in a Petri dish and adding one of the 'Multodisks' described below. Whether a direct sensitivity was done or not, a half Petri dish of cystine-lactose-electrolytedeficient (CLED) medium (Mackey & Sandys, 1966) (Mitchell & Baird-Parker, 1967) for this study.…”
