    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 Jubilee Hills, Kukatpally, Madhapur, AS Rao Nagar, Kondapur.

    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

    faqFrequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    If my urine culture and sensitivity test results are positive, what are the next steps? Should I consult a specialist or make specific lifestyle changes?

    A positive urine C and S test indicates a UTI. You should consult a specialist, like a urologist or a nephrologist, who can guide you with proper treatment. Lifestyle changes like consuming ample fluids, avoiding caffeine and alcohol, and practising good hygiene can help in managing UTIs.

    Are there any alternative or complementary tests to consider alongside a urine culture and sensitivity test for a more comprehensive assessment?

    Yes, depending on your symptoms, your doctor might recommend additional tests like complete blood count (CBC), kidney function test (KFT), or an ultrasound scan of the kidneys and bladder.

    Are there any emerging technologies or advancements in urine culture and sensitivity testing that I should be aware of?

    Modern medicine is witnessing several advancements in diagnostic techniques. Apart from traditional methods, automated systems for urine culture are also being used for faster results with higher accuracy.

    Can I drink water before the urine culture and sensitivity test?

    Yes! Hydration is encouraged as it helps in sample collection. However, it's best to confirm with your doctor or lab technician before the test.

    How accurate is the urine culture and sensitivity test for the diagnosis of UTI?

    The urine CS test is considered highly accurate for diagnosing UTIs as it identifies the specific bacteria causing the infection and also determines the most effective antibiotic for treatment.

    What are the signs and symptoms of UTI?

    Symptoms of UTI can include frequent urge to urinate, painful or burning sensation during urination, cloudy and strong-smelling urine, and lower abdominal pain.

    Can a urine culture test detect sexually transmitted diseases?

    No, a urine culture test is specifically designed to detect bacteria responsible for UTIs. For sexually transmitted diseases, separate tests are required.
