What is Urine Culture & Sensitivity?

Identifies the specific bacteria causing a urinary tract infection and determines which antibiotics will effectively treat it. Essential for targeted antibiotic therapy.

Why is this test important?

Positive culture (>100,000 CFU/mL) confirms UTI. Sensitivity report guides antibiotic choice. Important for recurrent UTIs and antibiotic-resistant infections.

How to Prepare

Collect midstream clean-catch urine. Do not start antibiotics before collection.
