Urine Culture Test
The Urine Culture test identifies infection-causing microorganisms, measures their quantity (colony count), and determines effective antibiotics through sensitivity testing.About Test
A Urine Culture test is used to detect and identify microorganisms such as bacteria or yeast in a urine sample. It helps diagnose urinary tract infections (UTIs) by allowing microorganisms, if present, to grow under controlled laboratory conditions. The test also determines the type of organism causing the infection and evaluates which antibiotics are effective against it, ensuring accurate and targeted treatment. UTIs can affect the bladder, urethra, or kidneys, and early diagnosis through a urine culture helps prevent complications.Why This Test
