A urine culture is a test to find and identify germs (usually bacteria) that may be causing a urinary tract infection (UTI). Urine in the bladder normally is sterileâit does not contain any bacteria or other organisms (such as fungi). But bacteria can enter the urethra and cause an infection. A urine sample is kept under conditions that allow bacteria and other organisms to grow. If few or no organisms grow, the test is negative. If organisms grow in numbers large enough to indicate an infection, the culture is positive.
What Are the Benefits of a Urine Culture Test? A urine culture test is the most accurate way to confirm a urinary tract infection; combining a urine culture test with a sensitivity test is the best method to select an antibiotic to help resolve the infection. After antibiotic therapy, urine culture tests are also recommended to ensure that the infection has been eliminated.
