Urine Culture & Susceptibility Test
Check Your Urinary Health: Urine Culture & Susceptibility Test
The Urine Culture & Susceptibility Test is an essential diagnostic tool used to detect and identify infections in the urinary tract. It not only identifies the specific pathogens causing the infection but also determines their resistance or sensitivity to various antibiotics, ensuring a targeted treatment plan.
This test is particularly important for individuals experiencing symptoms such as frequent urination, painful urination, cloudy urine, or lower abdominal pain. It is also valuable for those with recurrent UTIs or underlying conditions that may predispose them to urinary tract infections.
