Midstream Urine Bacterial Culture Count

The significance of urine culture examination is to monitor whether the human urinary system (including kidney, bladder, urethra) is healthy and sterile. If there is a bacterial infection, an antibiotic susceptibility test for the bacteria should be made to guide the doctor to use the antibiotics accurately and accurately, to kill the bacteria early, and to have a healthy urinary system. Basic Information Specialist classification: urinary examination classification: urine / kidney function test Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Analysis results: Below normal: normal. Normal value: Number of bacteria: 0-1000000 colonies / L Above normal: Urinary tract infection. negative: Positive: Tips: Wash the vulva before leaving the urine. The container used should be clean and free of pollution. Do not mix chemicals such as detergents, disinfectants and preservatives to avoid affecting the inspection results. Normal value Normal value <1 x 106 colonies/L (<1 x 106 colonies/ml). (Note the specific reference value depends on each laboratory.) Clinical significance (1) <1 × 105 colonies / L contaminated urine. (2) <1 × 105 ~ < 1 × 106 colonies / L suspected urinary tract infection. (3) > 1 × 106 colonies / L urinary tract infection. High results may be diseases: urethritis, bladder dampness, ureteritis, lymph node syndrome, low back pain - hematuria syndrome, trichomonas urethritis, vulva erysipelas, glomerulonephritis, gonococcal urethritis, urinary tract soft spot precautions 1. Wash the vulva before leaving the urine. The container used should be clean and free of pollution. Do not mix chemicals such as detergents, disinfectants and preservatives to avoid affecting the inspection results. 2, should be sent immediately after the urine, to avoid the test results are wrong after the urine is placed. 3, using the mid-stage urine culture colony count is less than 1000 (<1000 / mL), mostly in vitro infection. 4. If antibiotics or diuretics have been used, they should be promptly reported to the doctor. 5. Collection of urine specimens should be strictly aseptic: Generally take the middle section of urine. Female patients should first wash the vulva with soapy water, then wash with sterile water, dry the sterile gauze, let the patient urinate, discard the anterior segment of urine, and leave the middle urine in a sterile container with a urine volume of about 10 mL. Male patients should first wash the urethral opening with soapy water, then rinse with water. For those who have too long foreskin, they should open the foreskin and then collect the middle urine. The baby should clean and disinfect the genitals, fix the sterile vial to the urethra tape, and wait for the urine specimen to be sent for inspection. 6. Bacterial culture and drug susceptibility testing should be performed together. Inspection process Generally take the middle section of urine.

Male patients should first wash the urethral opening with soapy water, then rinse with water. For those who have too long foreskin, they should open the foreskin and then collect the middle urine.
