Summary
Recently more advanced techniques, including Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Next
Generation Sequencing (NGS) are available to detect bacteria in urine based on bacterial
genomes. Comparing to traditional culture, these techniques have more sensitivity and could
potentially be of a great help in patients with Colony Count of less than 10,000 and more
than zero.
