What does this test Culture Aerobic, Urine (Automated) identify?

  • Test Name: Culture Aerobic, Urine (Automated)
  • Identification: This test identifies the presence of aerobic bacteria in a urine sample. Aerobic bacteria require oxygen to grow and can be responsible for urinary tract infections (UTIs) and other urinary system infections.
  • Procedure: The urine sample is plated on a special agar medium that supports the growth of aerobic bacteria. The plate is then incubated at a specific temperature for a set period of time to allow the bacteria to grow.
  • Result Interpretation: The presence of bacterial colonies on the agar plate indicates a positive result for aerobic bacteria in the urine sample. The type of bacteria present can also be identified through further testing and can help in determining the appropriate treatment for the infection.

Why is this test Culture Aerobic, Urine (Automated) taken?

Why is the test Culture Aerobic, Urine (Automated) taken?

The Culture Aerobic, Urine (Automated) test is taken to detect and identify the presence of bacteria in the urine. It is primarily used to diagnose urinary tract infections (UTIs) which are caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract and multiplying.

Common symptoms of a UTI include frequent urination, burning sensation during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic pain. A healthcare provider may order this test if a UTI is suspected based on symptoms or other laboratory tests.

The Culture Aerobic, Urine (Automated) test helps in determining the type of bacteria causing the infection and its susceptibility to specific antibiotics. This information is crucial in guiding the appropriate treatment for the UTI.
