Overview

Urine Culture & Sensitivity

Urine Culture & Sensitivity

The Urine Culture test is the gold standard diagnostic procedure used to identify and quantify the type of microorganisms (usually bacteria) present in a urine sample. It is primarily ordered to confirm and diagnose a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI).

A urine culture provides two vital pieces of information:

  1. Confirmation of Infection: It confirms that the symptoms are caused by a bacterial infection, ruling out non-infectious causes.
  2. Organism Identification: It identifies the specific species of bacteria causing the UTI (e.g., Escherichia coli (E. coli), Klebsiella, or Proteus).
  3. Antibiotic Sensitivity (C & S): When bacteria are found, a Sensitivity Test (or Antibiotic Susceptibility Test) is performed. This determines which antibiotics will be most effective at killing the specific bacteria found.

Frequently asked questions on " Urine Culture & Sensitivity "

The Urine Culture test is the primary tool used by Augmentum Diagnostics to diagnose a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). It identifies the specific type of bacteria causing the infection and determines the most effective antibiotic treatment (Antibiotic Sensitivity or C&S).

The Sensitivity Test, which is automatically performed on positive cultures, is vital because it tells the doctor which antibiotics will successfully kill the specific bacteria found in your urine. This ensures you receive targeted treatment, preventing unnecessary use of ineffective drugs and reducing the risk of antibiotic resistance.

The most critical preparation is using the "Clean Catch Midstream" technique provided by the lab. This involves cleaning the genital area before collection and only collecting the urine that comes out mid-stream. This prevents bacteria from the skin or external genitals from contaminating the sample and leading to a false result.
