Question 30

Question
Sterile pyuria could indicate
Answer
  • antibiotic therapy
  • nothing, it´s not possible
  • infection by organisms not detectable by conventional techniques (e.g. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea)

Question 31

Question
Culture is performed
Answer
  • after microscopy
  • prior to microscopy
  • when UTI is suspected
  • to establish whether or not UTI is to be suspected
  • to identify the organism
  • to count the bacteria

Question 32

Question
Which of the following statements about agar cultures are correct:
Answer
