2. Bacteriuria - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteriuria

   Bacteriuria can usually be detected using a urine dipstick test. The nitrite test detects nitrate-reducing bacteria if growing in high numbers in urine. A negative dipstick test does not exclude bacteriuria, as not all bacteria which can colonise the urinary tract are nitrate-reducing. The leukocyte esterase test indirectly detects the presence ...

3. Urinalysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinalysis

   Because the test pad reaction is dependent on pH, false positive results can occur if the urine is highly alkaline. [ 60 ] [ 62 ] Conventional test strips are not sensitive enough to reliably detect microalbuminuria , a condition in which urine albumin levels are slightly elevated, [ 64 ] although dipsticks specialized for this measurement exist.

4. Salmonellosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmonellosis

   Salmonellosis is a symptomatic infection caused by bacteria of the Salmonella type. [1] It is the most common disease to be known as food poisoning (though the name refers to food-borne illness in general), these are defined as diseases, usually either infectious or toxic in nature, caused by agents that enter the body through the ingestion of food.

5. Urine test strip - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine_test_strip

   An improper technique can produce false results, for example, leukocytes and erythrocytes precipitate at the bottom of the container and may not be detected if the sample is not properly mixed, and in the same way, if an excess of urine remains on the strip after it has been removed from the test sample, may cause the reagents to leak from the ...

   Salmonella is a group of bacteria that can cause foodborne illness. It is commonly associated with undercooked meat and eggs; however, outbreaks have recently been linked to other foods, such as ...

   RVS broth can be used to enrich for Salmonella species for detection in a clinical sample. [23] Salmonella can also be detected and subtyped using multiplex [24] or real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) [25] from extracted Salmonella DNA. Mathematical models of Salmonella growth kinetics have been developed for chicken, pork, tomatoes, and ...

8. Urinary tract infection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinary_tract_infection

   Another test, urine microscopy, looks for the presence of red blood cells, white blood cells, or bacteria. Urine culture is deemed positive if it shows a bacterial colony count of greater than or equal to 10 3 colony-forming units per mL of a typical urinary tract organism. Antibiotic sensitivity can also be tested with these cultures, making ...

9. Urine test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine_test

   Contemporary urine testing uses a range of methods to investigate the physical and biochemical properties of the urine. For instance, the results of the routine urinalysis can provide information about the functioning of the kidneys and urinary system; suggest the presence of a urinary tract infection (UTI); and screen for possible diabetes or ...
