A member asked:

My stool report says bacteria=present. does that mean good bacteria or bad bacteria?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lab data: You would have to ask the laboratory to be certain, but the impression is that they are simply stating that bacteria are present, which is not surprising since 95-98% of dried fecal matter is bacteria. If there were specific pathogens (bad bacteria) present would imagine that they would have specifically identified these.
