A member asked:
How would my urine culture become contaminated with pseudomonas. the midwife thinks is contaminated because it's less then 20,000 colonies.

Bacteria : Bacteria is everywhere. Pseudomonas is not normal body flora but can be found as close to you as your gym shoes. Typically >100,000 colonies suggest infection but symptoms and exam are definitely taken into account when deciding to treat. If it doesn't make sense repeat the test with clean catch urine for comfirmation.

Pretty difficult: I suggest a repeat sample using clean catch instructions.
