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.

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.
