Description
Our Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Screening is designed to accurately identify the most common bacterial and fungal causes of urinary tract infections, helping to guide effective and targeted treatment.
This advanced screening detects a wide range of urinary pathogens, including Escherichia coli, Enterococcus, Klebsiella, Proteus, Staphylococcus species and Candida albicans. By identifying the specific organism involved, the test provides clarity in cases of persistent, recurrent or unclear urinary symptoms.
In addition, the screening assesses key antimicrobial resistance markers, including genes associated with resistance to commonly prescribed antibiotics. This helps reduce trial-and-error prescribing and supports more informed clinical decision-making.
This screening is suitable for individuals experiencing symptoms such as burning or pain on urination, increased frequency or urgency, pelvic discomfort, or for those with recurrent UTIs who want a more detailed understanding of the underlying cause as part of a preventative and personalised approach to care.
