Staph bacteria in urine, small amount, doc said he isnt worried about it but i am.how do you get that n your bladder?

Staph Attack.: Staph bacteria was in your urine not necessarily in your bladder. Urine samples often have minor contaminants from the skin. Unless you have signs or symptoms of a urinary tract infection ( urgency, frequency, burning pain) I am not concerned either.

Depends: Staphylococcus hemolyticus is a common cause of uti. Staphylococcus aureus truly in the urine is a potential harbinger of bad news. Other staph in urine may or may not be significant. Difficult subject to discuss in this space.
