[Frequency of germ isolation from urinary infections in community practice; their sensitivity to 7 antibiotics including a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. Evaluation on 1611 samples].

A multicenter study including 10 outpatient private laboratories (hospital laboratories excluded) was carried out in France. 1,611 urines samples from patients with UTI were collected during the forth trimester of 1987. The most frequently recovered pathogens were: E. coli (71%), Proteus mirabilis (9%), Staphylococcus coagulase (6%), Klebsiella (6%), Enterobacter (2%). Other sorts (Streptococcus D, Proteus sp, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter sp) were infrequent (less than 1%). The sensitivity of the aerobic Gram-negative bacteria to ampicillin, clavulanic acid-amoxicillin, cephalothin, gentamicin, pipemidic acid, norfloxacin and co-trimoxazole was tested.

[The frequency of isolating urinary infection germs at a community practice and their sensitivity to various antibiotics].

Nine hundred and thirty one urine's specimens of patients affected by urinary infection have been studied by pathology practising in different towns in France. The most frequently germs retrieved are: Escherichia coli 76%, Proteus mirabilis 12%, Klebsiella 5%, Staphylococcus epidermidis 2%. Were studied Gram negative rods sensibility to ampicillin (A), cephalosporin 1st generation (C), nalidixic acid (Nal), gentamicin (G), norfloxacin (Norf); Gram positive cocci resistance to oxacillin (Oxa), erythromycin (E), pristinamycin (P), gentamicin (G), norfloxacin (Norf). For E. coli: the resistance was 24% A, 2% C1, 0.1% G, 4% Nal, 0.1% Norf. For Klebsiella: the resistance was respectively 96% A, 12% C1, 10% Nal, 18% G., 4% Norf. For P. mirabilis: 11% A, 3% C1, 0% Nal, 9% G, 0% Norf. E. coli strains cephalo R; Gram negative rods Genta R or quinolone R; staphylocoque oxa R or pristina R have been checked by HIA Begin microbiology laboratory. Discrepancies in results have been analysed. This study enabled the participants to improve their bacteriological technic, antibiogramm's reading, results' interpretation.

[Lymphoblast transformation test in osteoarticular tuberculosis].

Bacteriological proof of an osteoarticular tuberculous lesion is difficult to obtain, notably in Pott's disease. The authors, on the basis of earlier work in the field of pulmonary pathology, wished to assess the value of the lymphocyte transformation test in the diagnosis of this disease. Old tuberculin from the Pasteur Institute and LP48 tuberoulin were used at different concentrations. Out of 10 tuberculous patients (8 with Pott's disease and 2 with white tumours), 9 had positive tests, of which 7 were strongly positive ; the average transformation value was 13 percent. This positiveness was a function of the condition of the patient, of the extent of the lesions, and of the treatment. Of the 25 control patients affected by an infectious, nonmicrobial or other osteoarticular process, 17 gave negative results in the test, and 8 were positive, two of whom had high values. The average transformation value was 4 percent. From this study it seems that a negative result in the LTT is a valuable argument against the diagnosis of osteoarticular tuberculois ; a weak positive result indicates tuberculin hypersensitivity without absolutely defining evolution of tuberculois ; a strongly positive test may be encountered in hyperergic states connected with prolonged infectious conditions in bones or joints.
