The Urine Culture and Sensitivity test is used to detect and identify bacteria or fungi causing urinary tract infections (UTIs) and to determine the most effective antibiotic treatment.In this test, a urine sample is cultured in the laboratory to allow any microorganisms to grow. Once identified, sensitivity testing is performed to check which antibiotics are most effective in treating the infection.This test is commonly recommended for individuals with symptoms such as burning urination, frequent urination, lower abdominal pain, or fever, especially when a urinary infection is suspected.Early diagnosis helps in accurate treatment, faster recovery, and prevention of complications.
