In this work, the diagnostic accuracy of the MBS POCT was investigated in different clinical settings in order to highlight the potential benefits and limits of the new method in comparison with conventional urine culture, considered as the gold standard. Different patient cohorts were investigated, i.e., a population of elderly patients admitted to the hospital with underlying disease, often catheterized or undergoing antibiotic therapy (AOSA hospital), together with a cohort of outpatients enquiring for urine microbiological analysis, hence younger, non-catheterized, and without ongoing antibiotic treatment (IDI hospital). This offered the opportunity to define the MBS POCT performance in different clinical frameworks.

Results reported in this study reveal an overall high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the MBS POCT. ROC assessment of the MBS POCT revealed 97% accuracy, and the associated ...
