[Microbiological aspects of urinary infections in hospitalized and ambulatory elderly patients].
The authors studied the microorganisms found in urocultures of three groups of elderly patients giving an exact map of the microbiology and epidemiology of the urinary tract infections of elderly patients. They shown also the calibrated loop seeding method as the most efficient to evaluate low bacterial concentration in urines which in these patients are significant.
