About the Urine Culture & Sensitivity Test
A Urine Culture & Sensitivity test is the standard way to confirm a urinary tract infection (UTI) and find out which germ is causing it. A small amount of your urine is spread on culture plates and incubated overnight or longer. If bacteria grow, the lab counts the colonies, names the organism and tests it against a panel of antibiotics. E. coli is by far the most common cause, and resistance to common antibiotics is a growing concern in India.
- Parameters
- 3
- Sample
- Urine
- Fasting
- Not required
- Report
- 48–72 hours
Preparation
- Use the first urine of the morning if you can, or urine that has stayed in the bladder for a few hours.
- Antibiotics can hide the infection, so give this sample before your first dose unless your doctor says to start right away.
- Wash your hands and clean the genital area with plain water. Women should wipe from front to back, and men should draw back the foreskin.
- Let the first part of the stream go into the toilet, then catch the middle part in the sterile container without touching its inside.
- Close the lid and hand it over soon, ideally within 2 hours, since bacteria multiply in urine left at room temperature.
Normal range
| Parameter | Typical reference range |
|---|---|
| Expected result | No growth, or no significant growth |
| Significant growth | Commonly 100,000 CFU/mL or more of one germ in a clean midstream sample |
| Lower counts | May still matter with symptoms, in men, or in catheter samples |
| Mixed growth | Several kinds of bacteria, which often means contamination and may need a fresh sample |
CFU means colony-forming units, a count of the live bacteria grown from each mL of urine. Your doctor reads the count together with your symptoms. Ranges are typical adult values and vary between labs, age and sex. Always use the range printed on your report and discuss results with your doctor.
