Urinary Tract Infection
Molecular PCR UTI Testing Service at Urology Center of Southern Oklahoma
Do you struggle with recurrent or persistent UTIs? Have you been treated repeatedly with antibiotics but still continue to experience symptoms? You may be dealing with a polymicrobial (multi-organism) infection, where multiple organisms or pathogens are present. In such cases, a treatment plan tailored to target all the organisms involved is necessary, rather than relying on traditional urine cultures that typically focus on treating just one pathogen.

More than half of positive UTI cases have multiple organisms present, rather than just one organism. When multiple organisms are present, pathogens can react differently to antibiotics. At times, they may be more susceptible, while at other times, they may show greater resistance. The presence of resistance genes doesn't always indicate actual antibiotic resistance. Also, general antibiotic guides used in healthcare settings may not be specific to the exact germs affecting you.

Standard urine culture tests check how individual organisms respond to antibiotics, but they don't account for how bacteria interact with each other in a multi-organism infection. On the other hand, testing in a pooled environment, where multiple organisms are grouped together, considers these interactions between each bacteria.

Our Molecular PCR UTI Test uses PCR technology where we can identify both the presence of pathogens and antibiotic-resistant genes. PCR is combined with our validated methods for Antibiotic Sensitivity Testing of the identified pathogens, ensuring that we can provide personalized treatment options for each patient. Our "Grouped" Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing method tests how antibiotics work against the group of organisms in your urine specimen, not only specific to one organism. This approach gives us a personalized result that considers how the different bacteria interact with each other, which can change antibiotic resistance in your specific multi-organism infection.

Our comprehensive Molecular PCR UTI test is designed to provide accurate results and diagnosis for even the most challenging UTIs for the most tailored treatment plan. It targets 27 individual organisms, 3 bacterial groups, 32 resistance genes, and 6 different classes of antibiotics. Additionally, it includes a phenotypic evaluation of the 23 most recommended antibiotics for treatment. With our Molecular PCR UTI Test, you can be confident in getting the right solution for your condition. With advanced technology and a caring team, we strive to provide a comfortable experience and quick results, giving you peace of mind and hope for relief from recurrent, persistent UTIs.
