URINARY TRACT INFECTION (UTI) TEST

Understanding Urinary Tract Infections

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) occur when bacteria—most commonly Escherichia coli (E. coli)—enter the urinary tract, affecting the bladder, urethra, ureters, or kidneys. They are more common in women, but men, children, and older adults are also at risk. Symptoms can range from frequent urination and burning sensations to pelvic pain and fever. However, some infections may be asymptomatic and go unnoticed until complications arise.

Recurrent or untreated UTIs can lead to serious health issues like kidney infections or sepsis. In some cases, symptoms may overlap with other conditions, making accurate diagnosis essential

What Is the UTI Test and How Does It Work?

At Prescience Diagnostics, we use advanced molecular PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technology to detect and identify pathogens responsible for UTIs. Unlike conventional urine cultures that take 2–3 days and may miss fastidious organisms, our PCR-based test provides results within 24 hours and detects a broader range of bacteria, fungi, and even resistance genes.

Our UTI panel analyzes a urine sample to:

• Identify specific pathogens (e.g., E. coli, Klebsiella, Enterococcus, Proteus)
• Detect mixed infections
• Identify antibiotic resistance markers (e.g., ESBLs, MRSA genes)
• Provide clinicians with actionable data for personalized treatment

This high-sensitivity approach ensures that even low levels of bacteria are accurately identified.
