This study employs a lipidomics-based method that promises to enhance the accuracy and reliability of urine culture diagnostics within 1 hour of sample collection. Our findings underscore the potential of lipidomics as a valuable tool in identifying and characterizing microbial populations present in urine samples and efficiently rule out negative urines, ultimately leading to improved patient care and management of urinary tract infections.
