Multiplication of contaminant bacteria in urine and interpretation of delayed culture. Abstract A prospective study of the bacterial populations of non-infected urine was mounted in an attempt to define the length of delay between voiding and analysis during which culture would not give false positive results due to the multiplication of contaminant bacteria present at the time of voiding. The findings suggest that culture of urine within four hours of voiding is likely to give a true indication

Discussion After doing a series of different biochemical tests for the isolated organisim from the sputum sample‚ it was concluded that the unknown Gram positive organism was Streptococcus pyogenes. The sputum sample was first inoculated in the agar plates MAC‚ SBAP‚ CHOC and also a direct gram stain of the sample was performed. After a day of incubation‚ the MAC agar gave a negative result‚ therefore it is not a Gram-negative bacteria and non-lactose fermenting. The SBAP and CHOC showed growth
