The positivity of cultures ranges from 0 to 73 per cent.

Agreement between the two methods was seen in 44 samples (52 per cent), which were negative in 35 cases. Pathological examination showed chronic cholecystitis in 69 cases (82 per cent) and acute cholecystitis in 15 (18 per cent). Thirty-three (48 per cent) of the patients with chronic cholecystitis were PCR positive but only ten (14 per cent) were culture positive (P &amp;lt; 0\u00b7001). Only culture results correlated with findings on pathological examination (P = 0\u00b7033).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>PCR is more sensitive in detecting bacterial contamination of gallbladder bile in cholecystitis than conventional culture.
