@CaulfieldTim @DrJenGunter @SOGCorg @DocMCohen It is quite disappointing, in 2023, to still read about “culture-verified” UTIs after urine cultures have been found not to discriminate between people with and without UTI. That test does not deserve its “gol

@DrZackaryBerger @jfitzgeraldMD Read up on the research that shows the flaws in urine culture. This one dates back to 2018 https://t.co/sxeEpweOKj
@CaloriesProper @AshleyGWinter @DrJenGunter Not at all. And this has implications on the management of UTI: it has long been believed that whatever grows in a urine culture is the cause of the infection, but in fact there is no good reason to believe that.
@mia_juma @AshleyGWinter Wrong, urine has a microbiome https://t.co/kQdIISIPJH
@DrPaulMason Unfortunately, the more advanced tests are mainly just better ways of repeating some of the same fallacies about abundance and pathogenicity anyway. https://t.co/uRl5T3HFca, https://t.co/61QOtHEQpA.

@MERallo @knitbunnie @torriangray @AshleyGWinter Although, for the sake of completeness, we should note that there is no good justification for that threshold. https://t.co/uRl5T3HFca https://t.co/61QOtHEQpA
@Starry49126 @TigerAncient @storytimewkate @AshleyGWinter But even that threshold and “not enough to consider it an infection” are very dubious. https://t.co/uRl5T3Id1I, https://t.co/gbiVBgpbxG.

@Natural_Dreamer @QueenDinahBrand @TigerAncient @storytimewkate @AshleyGWinter Which is nonsense as well. It is now rather clear that urine cultures easily miss half of infections. The justification for threshold-based diagnosis is very flimsy at best. ht

@ASMicrobiology @Thea_BK Therefore, the claim that E. coli causes most urinary tract infections lacks evidence: it is present in a lot of cases but that does not imply causality, especially since it is as abundant in people without UTI. (16/23) https://t.
@ASMicrobiology @Thea_BK “Because bacterial quantity is an important factor in assessing the potential clinical significance of any organisms present in the sample” We know of no evidence that this is the case. There is evidence that it is not: - https://
