Abstract
During the past 15 months, on 345 occasions, college coeds with symptoms of urinary tract infection were evaluated with at least two positive urine cultures (colony count > 100,000 col/ml) and by a non-invasive test of localization called the antibody coated bacteria test (FAT). They were subsequently treated with Gantrisin (114), Trimethoprim (111), Septra (59) and NegGram (61) for periods of 7, 10 or 14 days. 213 (62%) were FAT neg. (bladder infection) and 132 (38%) were FAT pos. (kidney infection). There was no statistically significant difference in the recurrence rates at regular intervals during the 6 months post therapy for either the separate or combined treatment groups.
