Quantitative urine culture before initiation of antimicrobial therapy is considered to be the gold standard for diagnosis of bacterial urinary tract infections (UTIs). In addition to facilitating differentiation of harmless bacterial contaminants from bacterial pathogens,accurate identification of specific bacterial species aids in selection of antimicrobial drugs. It also facilitates differentiation of recurrent UTIs caused by relapses from recurrent UTIs caused by reinfections. Failure to perform bacterial urine cultures or failure to interpret results of urine cultures correctly may lead not only to diagnostic errors but to therapeutic failures as well.
抗菌治疗开始前进行的定量尿培养被认为是诊断细菌性尿路感染（UTIs）的金标准。除了有助于区分无害的细菌污染物和细菌病原体外，准确鉴定特定细菌种类有助于选择抗菌药物。它还有助于区分由复发引起的复发性UTIs和由再感染引起的复发性UTIs。不进行细菌尿培养或未能正确解读尿培养结果不仅可能导致诊断错误，还可能导致治疗失败。
