A member asked:
Do you need to perform a urine culture test if your urinalysis is positive for nitrate and bacteria is shown as moderate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Urine culture will allow identification of the organism and if needed the antibiotic sensitivity of the organism can then be determined.
