What is the difference between "urinalysis" and "urine culture"?

Urinalysis is a general screening test that examines the physical, chemical, and microscopic properties of urine. It includes visual appearance like color and clarity, dipstick testing for pH, protein, glucose, blood, leukocyte esterase, and nitrites, and microscopic examination for cells, casts, crystals, and bacteria. A urine culture is a specific microbiological test that identifies the exact organism causing a urinary tract infection and determines which antibiotics will be effective against it.
