Preliminary urine culture might just be a Urinalysis (UA), in which they check for white blood cells in sample. White blood cells are a sign of inflammation. No matter what the preliminary culture says, you should wait for the results of the Urine Culture (24-48 hours) as it can provide more information about the possible infection.
which media or both use for blood culture
Sheep blood is commonly used in microbiology because it is readily available and produces consistent results. Horse blood is less frequently used due to its higher cost and variability in composition, which can affect test results.
If a culture is over incubated, the cells may exhaust their nutrients and produce toxic byproducts, leading to cell death or degradation of the culture. This can result in a decrease in cell viability and compromised experimental results. It is important to carefully monitor and control incubation times to ensure optimal growth conditions for the culture.
Long-term exposure to cortisol may eventually result in such changes as osteoporosis , muscle weakening and wasting, high blood pressure, increased abdominal fat deposition, immune dysfunction, steroid-induced diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
As soon as you get the test results back from the culture you have the okay to insert the picc line.

Yellow top tubes are not recommended for blood culture collection as they contain gel separators which can interfere with the growth of microorganisms in the blood sample. This can lead to potential false negative results. It is important to use blood culture bottles with specific media and no gel separators to ensure accurate results.
It can take anywhere from one to eight weeks to get Tuberculosis Sputum culture results. The test will determine if you have Tuberculosis.
for blood culture results generally 5 days are requried. negative report is only given after 5 days. othere wise it is given after rapid growth and identification.
Preliminary results are usually available in 24-48 hours, but the final results are allowed to grow for 72 hours, and only after that time is a culture result considered final.
You can usually get results the next day

I currently have Mono and my blood work results came in about a week after the testing.
It typically takes 24-48 hours to get results for a culture test, which identifies the type of bacteria or other microorganisms causing an infection. Once the culture results are available, it may take an additional 24-72 hours to complete the sensitivity test, which determines which antibiotics are effective against the identified organism.
The presence of bacteria and white blood cells on the Gram stain and the isolation of a microorganism from culture, other than normal flora contamination, is evidence of a lower respiratory tract infection.
It typically takes 1-2 days for preliminary results to be available, but final results may take 2-3 weeks as the bacteria need time to grow in the culture. The exact timeframe can vary depending on the specific laboratory and workload.
