Sterile[edit]

This is based on a small primary source. We need a better ref.

"While healthy urine contains bacteria that are part of resident microbiota,^[1] in bacteriuria pathogenic bacteria are also present." Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:44, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's Pubmed-indexed and I think it's good enough for this. The myth of sterile urine has been debunked on numerous occasions in reliable sources. Implying that the Journal of Clinical Microbiology is wrong about the microbiota in a healthy urine is, frankly, our occasional paranoia. Alternatively, we can simply add "pathogenic" to get "Bacteriuria is the presence of pathogenic bacteria in urine" (btw, the currently cited source looks copyright-protected in GBooks).

The review article you have added is good. Detection was by special techniques rather than by culture.

Bacteriuria would be the presence of culturable bacteria in the urine. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 06:08, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
