UTIs can be diagnosed by analyzing a patient’s urine sample. The two most common tests to detect UTIs are a urinalysis and a urine culture with antimicrobial susceptibility testing:
1. Urinalysis: A urinalysis is a group of physical, chemical, and microscopic tests on a sample of urine. These tests look for evidence of infection, such as bacteria and white blood cells.
2. Urine culture: This is a test that detects and identifies specific bacteria and yeast in a patient’s urine that may be causing a UTI. Urine cultures can also help doctors determine the best antibiotic for treating a UTI.
3. Susceptibility testing: Susceptibility testing measures how sensitive the bacteria is to an antibiotic or antifungal drug. This helps doctors determine which treatment is most appropriate.
