The Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) PCR Test is an advanced urine test that rapidly detects 16 common UTI-associated pathogens and three clinically relevant antibiotic-resistance markers.
Using PCR laboratory technology, the test identifies genetic material from microorganisms associated with urinary tract infections without waiting for conventional bacterial culture.
This provides faster, clinically useful information that can help an appropriately qualified prescriber make more informed treatment decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions
A urinary tract infection is an infection affecting part of the urinary system, including the bladder, urethra or kidneys. Most uncomplicated
UTIs affect the bladder.
A UTI PCR test detects genetic material from selected microorganisms associated with urinary tract infections. It can provide results more
rapidly than conventional culture techniques.
Results are usually available the next working day after the laboratory receives the sample. Turnaround times may occasionally vary.
Yes. It is suitable for both men and women. UTIs in men, pregnant women, children and people with complex health conditions should also
receive appropriate medical assessment.
No. PCR detects genetic material from selected pathogens. Culture attempts to grow microorganisms and may provide broader
antibiotic-susceptibility testing. A clinician may recommend one or both tests.
No. It tests for the 16 microorganisms included in the panel. Other pathogens and non-infectious causes of urinary symptoms are possible.
Yes, but antibiotics may affect the result and its interpretation. Tell the clinic if you are currently taking or have recently completed
antibiotics. Do not stop prescribed treatment without medical advice.
No. This is not an STI test. Separate STI screening may be recommended when clinically appropriate.
PCR can sometimes detect residual microbial genetic material following treatment. Results should therefore be interpreted alongside
symptoms and treatment history.
A clinician should review the result. The next step depends on the detected pathogen, resistance markers, symptoms, allergies, medical
history and current prescribing guidance.
A negative result does not exclude every infection or non-infectious cause. Urine culture, STI testing, clinical examination or another investigation may be required.
Yes. Your result will be explained, and you will receive guidance about appropriate medical follow-up.
Antibiotics require assessment and a prescription from an appropriately qualified prescriber. They are not automatically supplied with the
test.
