About UTI Test in Chico
Urinary tract infections occur when microorganisms, most often bacteria, multiply within the bladder, urethra, or kidneys. Testing provides objective evidence of infection rather than relying on symptoms alone.
The panel generally begins with a urinalysis, which screens for markers such as white blood cells, nitrites, and leukocyte esterase. These findings suggest inflammation or bacterial activity in the urinary tract.
If the urinalysis is abnormal or symptoms persist, a urine culture may be performed. The culture grows any bacteria present in the sample and identifies the species, which helps determine whether the infection is significant and which antibiotics are likely to be effective.
Results are reported as negative or positive, with culture findings often including the bacterial species and a colony count. A positive culture with a high colony count usually confirms an infection, while a negative result may point to other causes of urinary symptoms.
