"Simple lab-free test to detect bacteria in fluids from water to urine." ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 26 November 2024. <www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2024 / 11 / 241126134819.htm>.

Urine naturally contains bacteria. While the level of bacteria may be low, the presence of any bacteria prevents something from being sterile. If drinking urine was your survivalist backup plan ...

The researchers validated the test using urine samples from volunteers, and water samples. The test worked accurately, and was as good as lab tests at diagnosing patient infections, and could ...

It turns out, in many people with asymptomatic bacteriuria—people who have bacteria in their urine but no symptoms of a bladder or kidney infection—antibiotics can do more harm than good .

Meanwhile, tests with artificial urine produced strengths of 20 MPa, while real human urine resulted in strengths of around 5 MPa, due to a decline in bacterial activity during processing. The ...

Researchers examined the urine of 41 women and 36 men who had Stage 3 to Stage 5 kidney disease but were not on dialysis. Patients were age 60 or older and had less than 60 percent of kidney ...

Wow – I never even knew urine was supposed to be bacteria-free. Considering it's part of the body's waste disposal, I would have imagined it to be full of all kinds unpleasant things.
