About test
What does URINE CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY (MANUAL) measure?
Urine culture and sensitivity is a laboratory test that checks urine for the growth of bacteria or other microorganisms that may be linked to a urinary tract infection. If organisms are found, sensitivity testing evaluates which antimicrobial medicines may be effective against them. This test may be used when symptoms suggest a urinary infection, when infections recur, or to help guide treatment decisions. Results are interpreted along with symptoms and other clinical findings.
