Precision Diagnostic Testing of Complicated, Recurrent, or Persistent UTIs
April 24, 2023
AN ADVANCED UTI TEST THAT QUICKLY IDENTIFIES PERSONALIZED ANTIBIOTIC OPTIONS
A urinary tract infection (also called a UTI) is one of the most common infections worldwide and can impact anyone of any age. In fact, 20-40% of females with an initial UTI will experience a second UTI.
In cases suspected of having a UTI, a standard urine culture and antibiotic sensitivity test are commonly ordered to identify the antibiotic most likely to kill those bacteria. The problem is that this test can identify common bacteria but misses many other organisms that are known to cause UTIs.
If you are suffering from recurring UTIs, you may need to seek alternative testing and treatments.
Guidance® UTI is an advanced UTI test that quickly provides information to your healthcare provider and allows them to make a more informed treatment decision and provide personalized antibiotic options right from the start.
Stay tuned as Dr. Mickey Karram, MD, discusses the importance of catching this infection and how Guidance® UTI has allowed him to make more informed diagnoses.
