Is any one rejecting urines for culture if the dipstick was negative for leukocyte esterase and or nitrates?
Looking at a Clean Catch urine sample and you have less than 10,000 col/ml of an organism we do not work it up, however, I have the question can you call this a no growth or should it be reported cystoscopic urine nephrostomy urines,how should we treat these cultures both in regard to plating and reporting.
