Test Code

Culture and sensitivity - urine. A urine culture is a lab test to check for bacteria or other germs in a urine sample. It can be used to check for a urinary tract infection in adults and children. The female and male urinary tracts are relatively the same except for the length of the urethra.

If you are wondering how to read a urine culture report, it is essential to understand that the urine culture test normal range is between 10,000 and 1,00,000 colonies/ml. Anything higher falls under a positive report. A positive urine culture denotes a urinary tract infection (UTI) issue.

Normal Levels: No significant bacterial growth. Abnormal Levels: Substantial bacterial or yeast growth indicates a likely UTI. The specific organism found guides appropriate antibiotic treatment. Higher than normal levels: Indicates an active infection.
