What Characteristic of Urine Inhibits Growth of Many Pathogens

Question

What characteristic of urine inhibits growth of many pathogens?
A) High glucose level
B) Low pH
C) High protein level
D) High pH

Accepted Answer

Urine is naturally slightly acidic, with a pH around 6, which inhibits the growth of many pathogens. High glucose levels or protein levels could actually provide nutrients for pathogens, while a high pH would create a more favorable environment for their growth.
