Different urine Culture and sensitivity
I have done my urine culture from dr. Lal path labs. And they shows multiple drug like cipro, Levo and many drug are not sensitive. But after 5 days I done urine culture but this time a different lab, (a lab very much trusted since 1965 in our city) and it shows sensitivity to all antibiotics which in 1st report shows resistance. How's this possible? which result to believe?

Yes,, it is possible,, you did not mention whether it's same strain or different one.. urine culture needs expert interpretation better to believe in standard lab
