Comparison of the BACTOMETER microbial monitoring system with conventional methods for detection of microorganisms in urine specimens.
A rapid impedance-based screen for bacteriuria (less than 10(5) organisms per ml) was compared with a standard loop method, using 156 clinical urine specimens. Agreement between the methods was 96.8%.
