Video: Urine Studies II: Urine Culture and Sensitivity TestA urine culture and sensitivity (C/S) test identifies bacteria or yeast causing a urinary tract infection (UTI) and determines which antibiotics will effectively kill them, guiding treatment to prevent complications like kidney infections. Doctors order it for symptoms like painful urination, frequent urge, back pain, or fever, using a midstream "clean-catch" urine sample to grow microbes and test their resistance or sensitivity to various drugs. A positive result shows infection (e.g., over 100,000 bacteria/mL), while the sensitivity part reveals if an antibiotic is "sensitive" (works) or "resistant" (doesn't work) against the specific germ.
