Urine culture on Yersinia with antibiotic sensitivity determination
Detects Yersinia bacteria in urinary tract and determines antibiotic sensitivity. Confirms infection and helps select effective treatment.
Deviation mechanism: Yersinia bacteria may penetrate urinary tract via bloodstream or intestine → multiply → inflammation.
Recommended for: urinary tract infection symptom patients; chronic or recurrent infections; children and elderly; antibiotic treatment monitoring.
Midstream morning urine in sterile container
Avoid antibiotics 3-5 days before (by physician agreement)
Thyorough hygiene of external genitalia before collection
Collect midstream morning urine in sterile container
Deliver to laboratory within 1-2 hours
Medications: Antibiotics may affect results. Inform physician.
Frequent or painful urination; lower abdominal or lumbar pain; elevated temperature; turbid or malodorous urine; suspected Yersinia urinary or intestinal infection; antibiotic treatment monitoring.
Yersinia detected — quantity and antibiotic sensitivity listed.
Not detected — infection unlikely.
Physician makes final assessment.
Note: Sensitivity testing only when pathogen detected.
Recommended physicians: General Practitioner/Urologist (UTI); Pediatrician (children); Infectious disease specialist (complications).
