I just looked this up. My Mom gets those a lot and the information you posted explains a lot also JP. I know she's getting treatment but they keep showing up. Alana, I hope your Mom doesn't have to suffer from reoccurrences also... Ruby,

Is there any way to push the doctor to order a culture ? It takes about three days to nurture the bacteria obtained from the sample. If your mother has recurrent UTIs, she may have a more complex case, and elderly patients are not as likely to show typical symptoms of an infection (e.g. raging fever) due to compromised immune system.
