Abstract		Urine specimens are examined by various kinds of methods. This article discusses the quantitative urine culture on agar plates, alternative methods (calibrated-loop method) and semi-quantitative dip slide method. These methods are used to distinguish bacterial infection of urine from urine contamination. Specimen collection, timing of specimen collection, specimen transport and microbiological analysis are very important issues. Quantitative urine culture on agar plates with dip slide was also compared.
Summary		Urin preiskujemo z različnimi metodami dela. V članku so opisane kvantitativna urinokultura po Sanfordu, urinokultura, alternativne (kalibrirana bakteriološka zanka) in semikvantitativne metode (dip-slide), s katerimi ločimo dejansko značilno - pomenljivo bakteriurijo od kontaminacije urina. Izpostavljen je pomen mikrobiološke preiskave, način odvzema in prenos urina ter primerjava med kvantitativno urinokulturo po Sanfordu in semikvantitativno metodo.
