A member asked:
How do u treat urine positive for alpha hemolytic streptococcus and lactobacillus? positive nitrates
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No treatment needed: These bacteria do not cause urinary tract infection. They come from your vagina or labia, i.e. the urine specimen was not a true "clean catch". THe positive nitrates may mean you have a UTI, but if so it is due to other bacteria that apparently were missed on culture. Discuss next steps with your doctor.
