A member asked:
My semen culture keeps being positive for enterrococcus faecalis. what does it mean if it's a contaminant, not an infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection?: The repeated isolation of the same organism from expressed prostatic secretions suggest a chronic infection. I would talk to your doctor and consider antibiotic therapy for 6 weeks to treat chronic baccterial prostatitis. Check culture and sensitivity as Enterococcus faecalis relatively resistant
