“…Many of the aforementioned infections are treated with antimicrobial drugs [28][29][30], a discovery of the past century that completely changed the medical field and saved millions of lives [31]. Unfortunately, this discovery did not last unchallenged for long; soon after the discovery of penicillin by Sir Alexander Fleming in 1928 [32], the problem of penicillin resistance first emerged in 1947-19 years after its discovery and 4 years after the dug started being mass-produced and was used heavily to treat allied troops fighting in Europe during the World War II.…”

The relation between disease and urine was recognized by physicians since the earliest civilization BC. Urine is considered an ideal diagnostic specimen for its noninvasive and easy method of collection. Urinalysis encompasses a wide range of tests, which includes a variety of chemical tests, urine microscopy, bacterial cultures, and molecular tests. Importantly, urine tests can diagnose patients with antibiotic-resistant urinary tract infections (UTI), directly from urine and/or bacterial culture. This chapter summarizes the most common urine tests in the infectious disease field, with a special focus on diagnosing UTI and characterizing their antibiotic resistant. In addition to describing the advantages and limitation of these tests, the chapter explores the promising emerging technologies and methods in this field. This chapter is beneficial for scientists and healthcare workers in the field.
