The urine culture and sensitivity test is also known as urine culture C and S test and is an amalgamation of two tests. Apollo 24|7’s urine culture test helps to detect and identify bacteria and yeast in urine that may cause urinary tract infections (UTI). The urine sensitivity test on the other hand will help determine the appropriate antibiotic that can be effective on the bacteria or fungi found in the urine culture test. In normalcy, the urine is quite sterile, ‘i.e. germ-free’, but the growth of infectious germs on a urine culture can suggest a UTI.
The top urine culture and sensitivity tests are available in DLF Phase 1, DLF Phase 2, Sector 14, Sector 56, Sohna Road.
Many people, especially women suffer from UTIs and a urine culture and sensitivity test is the fastest and the best way to find a solution and treat the condition. Burning sensation while peeing, cloudy urine, smelly urine, intense urge to pee, pain in lower abdomen and experiencing chills and fever are some of the symptoms of a UTI.
You can book the urine culture and sensitivity test via Apollo 24|7. The healthcare portal also offers free home sample collection facility. Moreover, the urine culture test price offered by Apollo 24|7 is also quite reasonable.
Why should you get a urine culture and sensitivity test done?
- To diagnose urinary tract infections if one is having painful urination
- To identify microorganisms causing urinary tract infections
- To identify if there is any antibiotic resistance
- To identify the right antibiotics to eliminate the UTI causing bacteria
