A Urine Culture & Sensitivity test is a lab test that checks for the presence of bacteria or other germs in your urine. It helps identify if you have a urinary tract infection (UTI) by growing any bacteria found in your urine sample. The sensitivity part of the test determines which antibiotics could effectively treat the infection.

You'll provide a urine sample in a sterile container at the doctor's office or a lab. This sample is then cultured in a special environment to encourage the growth of any bacteria present. If bacteria grow, they are tested against different antibiotics to see which ones are most effective in fighting the infection.

Your doctor may suggest this test if you have symptoms of a UTI like frequent urination, burning sensation while urinating, or abdominal pain. It helps confirm the presence of a UTI and determines the most appropriate antibiotic for treatment, reducing the chances of antibiotic resistance and ensuring effective treatment.
