Erratum to: The Study of Apparent Bacterial Disappearance and Slow-Growing Bacteria in Urine Culture by the Dip-Slide Method in Evaluating the Efficacy of Antimicrobial Drugs

15 patients with complicated urinary tract infections were treated with 500mg/500mg of imipenem/cilastatin (IPM/CS) twice a day for 5 days by intravenous infusion. Urine samples collected from the patients were cultured on dip-slides every day. The effect of the antibiotics in the urine and the problems of slow-growing bacteria were evaluated by comparing the results of untreated urine samples spread on dip-slides with those of urine samples treated by washing.
