The urinary tract may be infected by some microorganisms causes various conditions. Urine is normally sterile, but if urinary tract infection occurs, pathogenic microorganisms may be found in urine. A urine sample is collected and cultured to detect the bacteria such as infection and to identify the microorganism causing it. The collected midstream urine sample is stricked or inoculated on an agar medium (nutrient solution mixed with agarose gel) and incubated at body temperature for 24 to 48 hours. This will allow the growth of the microorganisms in the sample if any. Growing microorganisms form different types of colonies on the agar plates which are studied further in a laboratory to determine the exact microbe causing the UTIOnce the pathogen is identified, an antibiotic susceptibility test is performed to guide treatment for the UTI being tested for infection. The antibiotics create a small area around the discs where the microorganisms do not form colonies. The radius of this zone is measured and given as sensitivity and resistance to estimate the efficacy and strength of that antibiotic in treating UTI.
