Do you see negative urine culture results in patient’s with an obvious infection? Do you get culture reports described as a mixed flora?
Problem
- Urinary tract infections are the most commonly diagnosed infection accounting for over 10 million visits per year
- Up to 25% of the time, traditional microbiology results are incorrect or incomplete
- Culture fails to identify the majority of polymicrobial infections that are common in elderly and complicated UTIs
- Culture has a higher rate of negative results than truly exist (False negative)
- Urine cultures take several days to generate results. Empirical therapy is no longer recommended due to increases in antibiotic resistance
