If the doctor suspects an infection, the patient gives urine for bacteriological analysis. The laboratory assistant inoculates the sample on a nutrient medium. The study is carried out for 5-7 days, since the growth of bacteria can be long. With the help of the test, bacteria and fungi, antibiotics, to which they have sensitivity, are detected.
Often the analysis determines escherichia coli in the urine during pregnancy. It should be observed only in the intestines. Your doctor will advise you not to take antibiotics during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary. Therapy is carried out after childbirth or in the presence of complications due to e. coli in urine.
