Health Check
Urine culture and sensitivity testing provide in-depth analysis for detecting urinary tract infections (UTIs) and determining the most effective antibiotics for treatment.
MCS stands for microscopy, culture and sensitivity — the three stages of the investigation. Microscopy looks at the sample directly, culture grows any organism present, and sensitivity establishes which therapeutic agents that organism responds to.
Everight uses advanced microbial testing techniques for accurate identification of bacteria and their resistance patterns, empowering physicians to prescribe the most suitable therapy with confidence.
Because a culture has to grow before it can be read, this investigation takes longer than a test that measures something directly. Your centre will confirm the expected reporting time.
Why Everight
The report names the organism and the agents it is sensitive to — the two things a prescribing decision actually needs.
Everight's microbiology department uses the VITEK-2 Compact platform for bacterial and fungal identification and sensitivity testing.
Everight's microbiology supervision includes participation in antimicrobial resistance monitoring, so resistance patterns are tracked rather than just reported.
