Culture Urine Test
The Culture Urine Test is a vital diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of bacteria in urine, which can indicate urinary tract infections (UTIs) and other related conditions. This test is particularly important for patients experiencing symptoms such as frequent urination, burning sensation during urination, and lower abdominal pain. By identifying the specific bacteria causing the infection, healthcare providers can prescribe the most effective antibiotics for treatment.

The Culture Urine Test measures the presence of microorganisms in the urine, particularly bacteria. It also includes an antibiotic sensitivity component, which determines how sensitive the identified bacteria are to various antibiotics, guiding treatment decisions.
