Urine Culture & Sensitivity

The Urine Culture & Sensitivity test is a critical diagnostic tool used to identify the specific type of bacteria or yeast causing a urinary tract infection (UTI) and to determine the most effective antibiotic for treatment. By culturing a urine sample, healthcare providers can pinpoint the exact pathogen responsible rather than relying on broad-spectrum treatments, which helps prevent antibiotic resistance and ensures a faster, more targeted recovery. This test is particularly helpful for recurring infections, complicated cases, or when standard treatments have failed.
