What is the normal count of klebsiella in urine culture?
Klebsiella is generally considered significant in urine cultures when present in any amount, as it is a common cause of urinary tract infections. Normal urine should ideally be sterile, meaning there should be no bacteria present. If Klebsiella is found in a urine culture, it is typically considered a sign of infection.
How long does take to do urine culture and sensitivity?
A urine culture typically takes 24-48 hours to show initial results, which may indicate the presence of bacteria. If bacteria are present, a sensitivity test to determine which antibiotics are effective against the specific bacteria can take an additional 24-72 hours. Overall, the process can take anywhere from 1 to 5 days.
How did you get e coli in your urine?
Urine is supposed to be sterile. When any type of bacteria is found in a urine sample, it is indicative of a urinary tract infection (UTI). E. coli is a colliform that is naturally found in our digestive tract, particularly the large intestine. Normally there are not enough bacteria present to cause harm (the bacteria will not become pathogenic and produce thair toxin until enough are present, which happens when we eat something contaminated with them). If E. coli are present in the urine, this could indicate that somehow the bladder has become infected with something from the colon.This is not an official diagnosis by any means, merely an observation. Professional advice should be sought for a true diagnosis and treatment.
What are organisms in urine called that cause infection?

What is a urine culture test?
In a urine culture, the lab puts a sampe of urine in conditions likely to grow the typical germs that cause urinary tract infections. If they get some to grow, they identify the bacteria in the urine.
