Culture and Sensitivity, Urine

Description

This test involves culturing a urine sample to identify any bacterial growth in the urinary tract. It’s commonly used to diagnose urinary tract infections (UTIs) and determine the specific bacteria causing the infection. The culture helps isolate and identify the bacteria, while the sensitivity test determines which antibiotics would be most effective against them. This information is crucial for healthcare providers to diagnose UTIs accurately and prescribe the most appropriate antibiotic treatment, helping to relieve symptoms quickly and prevent complications such as kidney infections.
