micro tech here! you’re right. i think probably about 60% of the urine cultures we process are called either negative or varying degrees of contaminated right away just by looking at the plates. then another 10-15% we do workups on to determine if it’s a contaminant or likely causing infection, and in the end about 12% come back as contaminants. so that’s almost 75% of all the urine cultures my lab receives being negative or improperly collected😅

Mattie :
I’m curious on your processes for urines, why are you staining them with wright stain? I’m accustomed to using the iris or regular scope and calling bacteria on urines but have never stained them for any reason.
