A member asked:

A friend of mine did a hvs m/c/s test the test result. culture after 24hrs at 37'c yielded moderate growth of staph spp, what could this be.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Staph flora: Staph flora are always there on the skin. Where was the culture taken from? If it was urine culture you should talk to the dr.
