abstract: A rapid technique for confirmation of the diagnosis and the orientation of medical treatment of urinary infection. Performance of direct antibiotic sensitivities on urine is a rapid (14 to 18 hours) procedure for determining the presence of organisms in the urine and seeking the antibiotic most active against them. In order to assess the value of the procedure, it was compared with classical bacteriological techniques. The correlation was found to be satisfactory. This procedure of direct sensitivity studies on urine is not in to way in competition with classical bacteriological techniques but is of great value in rapidly confirming the diagnosis of urinary infection and in the orientation of therapy. It eliminates a number of the justifications of blind treatment.
