Abstract
In this investigation the results obtained with a testkit for detectin g bacteria and their antibiotic sensitivity (ABcheck, Vetoquinol) were compared with those obtained using standard bacteriological procedure s. Ten urine samples, ten skin samples, and ten cerumen samples were e xamined in parallel. The results indicate that the testkit is not reli able,with respect to whether antibiotics should be administered and wi th respect to which antibiotics should be used.
