Test Necessity
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a condition where bacteria or fungi enter the urinary tract through the urether, i.e., the tube through which urine in the bladder exits the body. These microorganisms can multiply and infect the entire tract up to the kidneys if not treated in time. A urine culture test is advised by doctors to diagnose the presence and extent of an infection in the urinary tract. This is a detailed test that involves growing the bacteria in the urine sample to identify the exact microorganism causing the infection. This identification is required by medical practitioners to suggest antibiotics that are best suited to counter the bacteria. The test is also repeated to monitor the treatment and check for incidences of recurrence.
Test Preparation
The Urine culture test does not require any fasting or dietary restrictions. To prepare for the test, you need to drink 2 to 3 glasses of water and then avoid passing urine for 1 to 2 hours. The first urine of the day is an ideal sample as the concentration of bacteria is high, making it easy to detect and identify. So booking an early morning appointment for urine sample collection is usually advised. You may also want to check with your medical practitioner about continuing any ongoing medications
During the Urine Culture Test
The PharmEasy representative will provide a sterile, labeled container for collecting the urine and a small bag to place the container in. Wipe the genital area with clean toilet paper or an antiseptic swab to avoid contamination of the urine sample. Allow some urine to pass before you collect it in the container. Seal the container tightly so that there is no leakage. Place the container in the bag provided and hand it over to the PharmEasy rep.

Ranges
Test Result Interpretation
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.
