Urine Culture

Urine Culture is performed when it is necessary to identify the pathogen causing a urinary tract infection.
There is a considerable amount of microflora in the urinary tract, external genital organs, and skin that can contaminate the urine sample taken for culture and result in unreliable test results. Therefore, it is essential to collect the test sample correctly. Additionally, microbiological tests help determine the sensitivity of microbes to antibiotics, which is performed through an antibiogram, indicating which antibiotic is most suitable for the patient being tested.
