Overview
The urine culture test is also known as the urine culture and sensitivity test (Urine C&S). This test is a confirmatory test for diagnosing urinary tract infections as well as finding out which bacteria have caused them. Statistics show that women are more prone to UTIs than men as the urethra of a female is shorter. It is also closer to the anus resulting in easy contact with the causative agent.
In a urine culture test, the urine sample is diluted a thousand times before it is tested. The measurement and report are given in the form of bacterial colonies per mL.
- If there are less than 10,000 colonies/mL, the result is considered negative.
- If the range lies between 10,000 to 1,00,000 colonies/mL, the result is considered to be normal.
- If the values are more than 1,00,000 colonies/mL, the result is considered to be positive.
As mentioned earlier, the test also tells us which possible causative agent is responsible for the infection. Some bacteria that cause UTIs are Acinetobacter, Proteus, Klebsiella, and Enterobacter.
