Daughter had bacteria in urine but urine culture cam back negative was sent out to find exact bacteria but came back negative why is that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bacteruria: Unless they put a tube up into her and catheterized her to get the urine sample, bacteria form the skin and genital area can get into the urine sample. This is especially true in little girls where there are lots of nooks and crannies where skin bacteria can hide. They may see these bacteria when look at the urine under microscope, but they don't grow in culture in just skin source bacteria.
