摘要：

In this study the value of urine culture incubation for 1 versus 2 days was determined. The results of the study indicate that 1 day of incubation is reliable if (i) all specimens are incubated for a full 24 h, (ii) all specimens with < 10(4) uropathogens per ml are incubated for an additional day to ensure accurate quantitation, and (iii) specimens from patients with suspected funguria are incubated for a minimum of 2 days.
