Urine is a waste product of our body. Urine culture test is used to diagnose a urinary tract infection and identify the bacteria causing the infection.
Of all kinds of bacterial infections, UTIs caused by E. coli, are the most common. E. coli bacteria normally live in the intestines of all humans without causing any harm. Some of these E. coli bacteria are pathogenic, i.e. harmful. E. coli that causes UTIs is also present in our faecal matter. If somehow some of that faecal matter from rectum enters the urinary tract through the opening of the urethra, they multiply and infect the urinary tract.
The urinary tract is made up of the kidneys, ureter, bladder, and urethra. The infection can affect all parts of the urinary tract. Among these, the most common type is bladder infection or cystitis.
Kidney infection or pyelonephritis is another type of UTI, which is less common but more serious.
Women are more prone to UTI as they have very short urethras.
Test Necessity
If you are experiencing the symptoms of urinary tract infection your doctor may suggest a urine culture test. The symptoms include:
- Fever, chill, and fatigue
- Nausea or vomiting
- Pain in bladder, groin, lower abdomen, or pelvis
- Pain while urinating and a persistent urge to urinate
- Cloudy or dark coloured urine with foul smell
- Cramping or vaginal irritation
Test Preparation
The most crucial part of preparing for a urine culture is providing a clean-catch midstream urine sample. This involves cleaning the genital area before urinating and collecting the urine sample midstream, which helps in avoiding contamination.
It's recommended to avoid using creams or powders in the genital area before the test, as they can contaminate the sample. Drink a normal amount of water before the test to ensure you can provide a sufficient urine sample. Inform your doctor about any medications or supplements you are taking, as some might affect the test results.
During the Urine Culture Test
After you have booked the urine culture test, a phlebotomist will arrive at your house to collect the urine sample. They will hand a sterilised plastic container to you, to collect the urine sample in. Once you have collected the urine in the sample, hand it over to the phlebotomist. They will send the sample to the laboratory for testing.
