Dear Lybrateuser, - urine routine exam tests for specific gravity, protein, sugar, different cells including epithelial, pus, red blood cells etc, whereas the urine culture is done to see whether any bacteria is present, the organism is grown on the media & if present then is accordingly treated with suitable antibiotic.
