Q: hi docs, pls tell me how i can use d drugs for uti culture test i had: nitrofurantoin sensitive '(<=16mg/i). rifampicin sensitive(0.03mg/i) thanks?

Need your physician: I don't see how you could use the culture results effectively or even safely since only your doctor can properly interpret the results and decide the best treatment depending upon your particular situation which includes knowing allergies, other medications you may be taking, and exactly how you are likely to react given their knowledge about you.

Q: if my uti urine test came out negative. is it possible to test positive for a uti culture test? also can doctors see stds or stis in this culture test

Culture: can pick up some subclinical or asymptomatic infections; however, a routine urine culture and sensitivity test is not going to screen for all STDs. -these require specific testing.

Q: doc said i had blood in urine and had symptoms of uti. culture was normal. does that mean blood is gone or does the culture not measure blood in urine?

Hematuria: Hi, urine culture is designed to detect bacteria in urine and confirm the infection that analysis of urine is showing. Urine infection can cause blood in urine and analysis of urine could detect that,once infection is treated then the blood won't show in urine analysis. If blood in urine persists then other tests like a Cystocopy or CT Urogram should be done to find out the cause.good luck.

Question 1

can uti culture tests see if your kidneys are alright?

Accepted Answer

Urine culture: A urine culture is only helpful in ruling out urinary tract infection.  Other kidney problems require different testing.

Question 2

uti culture came back negative. why is my urine cloudy?

Accepted Answer

: False negative urine cultures are unusual &amp; I assume that you didn't take antibiotics before the test.  Various non pathological types of sediment in urine can make it cloudy. I assume you have no obvious symptoms of a UTI like burning,frequency,urgency,voiding in small amounts and nocturia.  If you do, repeat the culture.

Question 3

will a routine uti culture also test for fungus in the urine?

Accepted Answer

: For yeast -yes

Question 4

i have had some pressure on my bladdar with a urgency to go.  uti culture keeps coming back negative. no burning either?

Accepted Answer

Urine urgency: 42 F  Notes: I have had some pressure on my bladdar with a urgency to go. Uti culture keeps coming back negative. No burning either? ANS: without knowing more history and doing a careful exam I cannot really answer this. What does your Dr. think?  What meds are you taking. What surgery have you had? Get back with us for second opinion if not satisfied.

Question 5

uti culture was normal no growth. still have sensitivity in bladder area and frequent urination. could still be uti?

Accepted Answer

: UTI symptoms with negative culture often means interstitial cystitis or a similar condition. Keep working with your doctor, or (ideally) see a urologist. Good luck.

Question 6

frequent urge to urinate, uti culture & bloodwork no infection. no other symptoms. what could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor, preferably a urologist.

Question 7

is gbs a second cause of my uti? culture results:  10,000 cfu/ml streptococcus group b, (s. agalactiae)	and >100,000 cfu/ml escherichia coli

Accepted Answer

Contamination: Urinary tract infection is usually a single organism. GBS is a normal organism of the vagina. In your case, it is likely  that e. coli is the responsible organism  for your UTI and GBS is just a contaminant especially that the count is 10,000
