Typically, UTIs are more common in women than in men, as the urethra is shorter and closer to the anus. This allows bacteria to come in contact with the urethra easily. Typically, bacteria like Klebsiella, acinetobacter, enterobacter, and proteus cause UTIs. Hence the urine culture test is important to detect and treat these infections.

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.
