Culture and Sensitivity, Urine With MIC

Description

This test involves culturing a urine sample to identify bacterial growth and determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of various antibiotics. The MIC provides more detailed information about the concentration of antibiotics needed to inhibit bacterial growth. This test is particularly useful for complex or recurring urinary tract infections. It helps healthcare providers choose the most effective antibiotic at the appropriate dosage, which is crucial for treating resistant infections and preventing antibiotic overuse. The results guide more precise and targeted treatment strategies for urinary tract infections.
