A member asked:
Negative result for uti came back & 2nd day on antibiotics should i finish them still.. guessing yes..?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably yes: Some UTIs show up negative on culture, but this often means the bacteria causing it are just present in lower than usual amounts. A positive urine culture usually has 100,000 bacteria per ml of urine, but sometimes it's under 10,000, which the lab may report as negative. However, other things can mimic UTI in women, especially chlamydia or other STDs. Best to check with your doctor.
