What is Urine Culture Test? Read the full explainer →

Urine Culture Test

A urine culture grows whatever bacteria are present in a urine sample and counts them, which is how a real urinary tract infection is separated from a sample that merely looks suspicious. Results take a day or two, because bacteria need time to grow. Identifying the organism and testing which antibiotics kill it are usually billed as additional steps.
