A member asked:

What does it mean if i have staphylococcus aureus in my urine sample?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Urine infection: While common in other sites, staph aureus is uncommon in the urine. If you don't have symptoms of infection, it could be a contaminant. If you have symptoms, then you should review your history and activities to see how you may have developed an uncommon infection.
