A clinical evaluation of a screening (Microstix) for urinary tract infections
South Med J.

Abstract
The effectiveness of a screening device for urinary tract infection (Microstix**) was compared to routine laboratory cultures, sensitivities, and colony counts. The Microstix were highly effective in determining the presence or absence of urinary tract infections. In addition, they could be subcultured to provide meaningful bacterial sensitivities. Microstix are economical, easy to use, and accurate. Their use in the diagnosis and follow-up of urinary tract infections is therefore recommended.
