The doctor will prescribe a urine culture test if they observe any symptoms of infection in the urinary tract. Some of the symptoms are:

• Painful urination
• Urine that is smelly
• Stomach ache
• Limited urine secretion
• Fever
• Chills
• Abdominal pain
• Cloudy looking urine

If the test result is positive, it indicates a urine infection. The doctor will start the antibiotic treatment plan to combat the infection. You will need to do a second culture test in three to six months to check the effectiveness of the treatment, and if the infection is still present.

You do not have to make any preparations for the urine culture test. Some precautions that need to be taken are:

• Consumption of water before the test so you can urinate easily
• Inform the doctor of any antibiotic medicines that you are taking
• No urination for one hour before the test  

During the Urine Culture Test

Once the urine culture test has been booked, the phlebotomist will arrive at the assigned location at the specified date and time to collect the sample. You will be given a sterilised container to collect the urine sample, and you can handover the same to the phlebotomist. The containers will be transported to the laboratory for testing and analysis.

The normal values and reference ranges of the test may vary from lab to lab. Please refer to the ranges mentioned in the report and consult a doctor to understand the interpretation of lab reports.

The main component of a Urine Culture Test is colonies of bacteria/ml. So, if the colonies are higher than the normal range, it could point towards a urinary tract infection. The results are interpreted as concerning if the symptoms of urinary tract infection are present. That is why sometimes, even if the colonies/ml are within the normal range, an individual might still have an infection.

Results of a Urine Culture Test are often interpreted jointly with that of a urinalysis. For instance, nitrite (a marker for bacteria) or leukocyte esterase (a marker of white blood cells) helps corroborate a urinary tract infection.
