Urinary indican in healthy Indian subjects. Indian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology. 1977 Oct-Dec; 21(4): 342-6http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/108922Forty normal subjects have been taken for the present study. The mean Indican excretion was 40.45 mg/24 hrs. The mean jejunal count was 1.96 x 10(3) +/- 5.39 x 10(3) organisms/ml and 40% of the jejunal aspirates were sterile. Wide range of bacteria were cultured bu the coliform organisms were obtained in only 16.6%. There was a significant correlation between Indican excretion and total bacterial count (P less than .01).engAdolescentAdultBacteria --isolation & purificationFemaleHumansIndiaIndican --urineIntestinal Secretions --microbiologyJejunum --microbiologyMaleMiddle AgedReference ValuesJournal Article
