How long does it usually take to get the results back from a urine culture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Urine Culture: Usually the lab will return results of a urine culture within 3-5 days. The bacteria need time to grow so, depending on when the sample was collected, then shipped to lab, then analyzed it could take up to 5 days.
