Is urine culture and sensitivity test report helpful for future to use antibiotics? There is an antibiotics list given in the report. Should we use only these antibiotics for UTI in future?

Urine culture with sensitivity helps choose the right antibiotic for a current UTI. However, bacteria and resistance patterns may change, so do not reuse the same antibiotics without a new test if symptoms return. Use antibiotics only when prescribed.
