Popis:	Abstract Urinary tract infection is a common disease in pigs and a major reason for sows to be culled. The disease, however, is difficult to diagnose due to lack of distinct clinical signs in the animals. We evaluated the diagnostic value of two commercial urine dipstick tests in 10 pigs using an experimental model of Escherichia coli urinary tract infection. Urine collected at baseline and 48 h after inoculation were analyzed. We show that dipstick tests positive of blood, leucocytes and particularly nitrite are very specific for E. coli UTI with a 100% positive predictive value.
