Dr. Jack Rubin answered

Test results: Your test result show that you have a bacterial infection that is sensitive to vancomycin, which is an antibiotic. Your symptoms of frequent urination suggest that you have a urinary tract infection. You should ask the physician (p) who ordered the swab for more information, as the p knows your case best.
