  • Abstract
    Two methods of urine collection—clean catch and midstream only—were compared in 200 samples (100 with each technique). There were no significant differences between the two collection methods with regard to number of positive culture results or types and counts of organisms isolated. There is little if any added benefit to special preparation for urine collection for culture.
