🔰The bladder was not originally tested because: 1️⃣ It was considered to be sterile and there were complexities regarding sample collection. 2️⃣ Culture techniques were developed for fast growing aerobic uropathogens.
Over the last couple years it has shown that a urinary microbiome exists and for most individuals it plays a protective role. ◎●━ @Biochem_Lab ━●◎•
🔰It was noticed that patients with UTI symptoms, but negative standard urine cultures, contained slow growing organisms that required different growth conditions than those in standard method.
🔰Later, An enhanced quantitative urine culture (EQUC) protocol was developed. 🔰Unlike the standard urine culture protocol, which plates 1μl urine on blood and MacConkey agar with incubation in air for 24 hours, EQUC plates a greater amount of urine (100μl) on a variety of media with incubation under diverse atmospheric conditions for 48 hours.
The development of EQUC and other enhanced culture protocols showed that The bladder is not 100% sterile.

At a time when the Indian stock market is peaking and has rallied immensely compared to global markets, there are companies that have not performed in the last 10 years. These are definitely a minor portion of the market considering there are hundreds of stocks that have turned multibagger since 2020. What went wrong with these stocks? Reasons vary from corporate governance, sectoral weakness, company specific and so on. But the more important question is, are these stocks worth buying?
How to Buy Bitcoin?
Most people buy Bitcoin via exchanges, such as Coinbase. Exchanges allow you to buy, sell and hold cryptocurrency, and setting up an account is similar to opening a brokerage account—you’ll need to verify your identity and provide some kind of funding source, such as a bank account or debit card. Major exchanges include Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini. You can also buy Bitcoin at a broker like Robinhood. Regardless of where you buy your Bitcoin, you’ll need a digital wallet in which to store it. This might be what’s called a hot wallet or a cold wallet. A hot wallet (also called an online wallet) is stored by an exchange or a provider in the cloud. Providers of online wallets include Exodus, Electrum and Mycelium. A cold wallet (or mobile wallet) is an offline device used to store Bitcoin and is not connected to the Internet. Some mobile wallet options include Trezor and Ledger.
