A urine culture test can identify bacteria or yeast causing a urinary tract infection (UTI). If bacteria multiply, an antibiotic sensitivity test can identify the antibiotic most likely to kill those particular bacteria.

Take a Ldl Cholesterol - Serum (Direct LDL) Test or Take a RESPIRATORY VIRAL PANEL (ADV, HMPV, PIV) Test
