AB  - To  obtain  urine  for  culture  when  a  less  invasive  technique  is  not  possible.  It  is  the  most  invasive  method  of  urine  collection,  but  also  the  most  accurate  culture  source  for  infants  and  children  <2  years  of  age  when  compared  with  urethral  catheterization  and  bag  urine  specimens.  It  is  considered  the  gold  standard  of  urine  specimen  collections  because  it  has  a  relative  rate  of  urine  culture  contamination  of  only  1%.  Any  bacteria  or  growth  (unless  clearly  a  contaminant)  from  a  suprapubic  culture  is  considered  abnormal  and  may  indicate  an  infection.  The  American  Academy  of  Pediatrics  (AAP)  has  made  recommendations  for  infants  age  2  to  24  months  to  obtain  a  catheterization  or  suprapubic  aspiration  for  any  urine  specimen  (urinalysis  and  urine  culture)  obtained  in  a  febrile  ill  infant  who  has  no  apparent  source  for  the  fever  and  who  is  planning  on  receiving  antibiotics.
