A member asked:

Urinalysis culture? 10,000-50,000 cfu/ml of mixed nonuropathogenic gram positive flora. may represent colonizers from external and internal genitalia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bacteruria: Why was the sample taken? If you have no symptoms of a UTI such as burning with urination or frequency then don`t worry about it. That small amount of gram positive organisms is likely colonizers of skin and not a real infection.

Dr Juchau and another doctor agreed
