How is the Urine Culture Test done?

The test is done on a urine sample which can be collected by the patient.

What Do the Results of Urine Culture Test mean?

-Negative result:
No bacteria or fungi grow in the culture.
-Positive result:
A count of 100,000 or more bacteria per milliliter (mL) of urine may be caused by an infection. A count ranging from 100 to 100,000 could be caused either by infection or by contamination of the sample. You may be required to get the urine culture done again. The presence of an infection is less probable if the count is 100 or less. But you may have a count of 100 or less if you are already taking antibiotics.
