Primary antibiotic sensitivities by a replicator method.
A replicator method of carrying out primary sensitivity tests on urine specimens is described. The results are compared with conventional sensitivity tests. Of 438 specimens examined, the procedure indicated a suitable antibiotic in all but 7 and yielded an incorrect result likely to mislead in 14 instances, in each case accompanied by several correct sensitivity reports. Results are available within 24 hours.
