Urine culture is when a doctor orders a urine specimen to be evaluated in a lab to determine exactly what kind of bacteria are living in it and causing problems. "Culture" means to grow, and they literally grow the bacteria so that they can test different antibiotics on it. Some antibiotics may kill the bacteria, and some antibiotics have no effect on the bacteria. This is the "sensitivity" part. If a bacteria is sensitive to an antibiotic, it would be a good choice for treatment of the infection. If it is not sensitive, the it is resistant to the antibiotic and it won't produce a cure.

yes, example of urine culture and sensitivity.
sensitivity numbers means how the antibioic reacts in a certain bacteria

Urinalysis is the typical chemical evaluation of urine via a combination of tests. A microbiologic evaluation could be called urine culture and sensitivity (urine C&S) or MCS- Microscopy, culture and sensitivity of urine. In the US, microscopy is typically ordered with the U/A, not the C&S.
Urine C/S stands for urine culture and sensitivity.It is used to identify the microorganism that causes the infection (culture) and to find a suitable antibiobic which is susceptible to kill the microorganism (sensitivity) Hope it would help you..
the grey tube is used for culture and sensitivity
The abbreviations M, C and S in a microbiology urine test means microscopy, culture and sensitivity. The test is done to check for a urine infection.
Culture - to culture and identify the bacteria that has infected you. Sensitivity - Drug susceptibility test to know what antibiotics to prescribe for you.
The urinalysis or UA determines the pH, specific gravity, glucose, bilirubin, lymphocytes and protein levels excreted. These results are helpful in the diagnosis of disease, hydration and infection in the bladder. A culture and sensitivity test C&S is performed on urine to determine the infectious agent and which antibiotics are susceptible or resistant to it so an effective antibiotic can be prescribed.
Typically they will "grow" the Culture for 48-72 hours, and then if positive, they will have to run the "sensitivity" part which can tak 24 hours. Definitely within 4 days u should have an answer.
urine culture report no growth
