Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common cause of urinary tract disease and may be associated with systemic disease. Diagnosis cannot be made on urinalysis and other findings alone. A urine culture is the "gold standard" for diagnosis of UTI. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing performed as part of a urine culture aids in selection of appropriate treatment for patients with confirmed bacterial UTI.
尿路感染(UTIs)是泌尿系统疾病的常见病因,可能与全身性疾病有关。仅凭尿液分析和其他检查结果无法做出诊断。尿培养是诊断尿路感染的“金标准”。作为尿培养一部分进行的药敏试验有助于为确诊细菌性尿路感染的患者选择合适的治疗方法。
