Key benefits

Key Benefits

Clear testing options, secure reporting, and collection choices designed to make the process easier.

  • Benefit 01

    Identifies E. Coli and Other UTI-Causing Organisms

    The panel identifies which bacteria or yeast is present instead of reporting only that an infection may exist.

  • Benefit 02

    Built for Recurrent UTIs

    Organism-level and resistance-gene data can help distinguish a persistent infection from a new episode.

  • Benefit 03

    Antibiotic Resistance Detection

    The panel flags resistance genes that can help inform a more targeted treatment discussion.

  • Benefit 04

    Results in 24–48 Hours

    Fast turnaround means less time waiting for answers.

  • Benefit 05

    Mobile or Walk-In Collection

    Choose mobile collection in Houston, Dallas, or San Antonio, or visit a Houston or Dallas-area lab.

Timing matters

Why Testing Sooner Makes a Difference

Can a UTI turn into a kidney infection?

Yes. An untreated urinary tract infection can spread upward from the bladder to the kidneys, causing a more serious infection called pyelonephritis. Testing earlier can identify the cause before it has more time to progress.

Is testing different if UTIs keep coming back?

Recurrent UTIs may need a different clinical approach than a first episode. Identifying the organism and its resistance pattern each time can help show whether an infection is persistent or whether a new organism is involved.

This information is educational and general in nature; it is not a diagnosis. If you have UTI symptoms, consult a healthcare provider promptly—especially if symptoms are severe or include fever, back pain, or nausea.

Before you book

Clear answers to common questions

Everything you need to move forward with confidence.

How do I choose between mobile and walk-in collection?

Choose mobile collection if you prefer a trained collector to come to a home, office, or care facility within a supported service area. Choose walk-in if you want to visit our Houston or Dallas-area lab.

Will I see the full price before I pay?

Yes. Test prices are shown on the page, and any collection or mileage fee is calculated during the booking flow before payment.

How and when will I receive results?

Results are delivered through a secure digital reporting process. Many routine results are available within 24–48 hours, but timing varies by test and specimen.

What happens after I book?

You will receive the details for your selected location and collection method. If the laboratory needs additional information for a specific test, the team will contact you.

Is this better than an at-home UTI test strip?

A drugstore dipstick detects general markers such as leukocytes and nitrites. This urine PCR panel identifies specific bacteria or yeast and antibiotic-resistance genes, providing more detailed information than a simple positive or negative strip result.

Is a UTI a sexually transmitted infection?

No. A UTI is an infection of the urinary tract, not an STI, although sexual activity is one of several known risk factors. STD and STI testing uses separate, dedicated tests.

What bacteria causes most UTIs?

E. coli causes the large majority of UTIs, but other bacteria and, less commonly, yeast can also be responsible. Organism-level testing helps identify which target is present.

Do I need symptoms for a positive result to matter?

Bacteria can sometimes be present in urine without causing an infection. A healthcare provider should interpret a positive result alongside symptoms and other clinical information before treatment decisions are made.
