URINE CULTURE AND SUSCEPTIBILITY

The urine culture and susceptibility test detects and identifies bacteria or fungi in a urine sample, which can cause urinary tract infections (UTIs). This test is used to diagnose UTIs, guide antibiotic treatment, and monitor the effectiveness of therapy. The test also determines the susceptibility of the identified microorganisms to various antibiotics, helping to choose the most effective treatment. The urine culture and susceptibility test provides valuable information for managing UTIs, ensuring appropriate medical intervention, and preventing complications associated with untreated or improperly treated infections.
