Urine Pathogen Test

The urine pathogen test is to check the type and quantity of pathogens present in the urine to determine whether it is a urinary tract infection and the nature of its infection. Although normal urine is sterile, the external urethra has a normal flora, so the pathogen examination of urine is generally not clinically significant. When the number of urinary bacteria in the middle of cleaning exceeds 100,000/ml, it can be diagnosed as a urinary tract infection. Basic Information Specialist classification: urinary examination classification: urine / kidney function test Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Tips: When doing routine urine examination, fresh morning urine should be used as much as possible.

(Note the specific reference value depends on each laboratory.) Clinical significance Abnormal results: Although normal urine is sterile, the external urethra has a normal flora, so the pathogen examination of urine is generally not clinically significant. When the number of urinary bacteria in the middle of cleaning exceeds 100,000/ml, it can be diagnosed as a urinary tract infection. Common pathogenic microorganisms are Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterococcus, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Enterobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans. Cultivate and isolate urinary tract infection pathogens, perform bacterial identification and drug susceptibility test, and the results can guide clinical drug use.
