A member asked:

After a urine m/c/s, my result says scanty growth of staph spp after 48 hours. do i need to see a doctor and how bad is this result?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Staph: If you dont have any symptoms like urinary frequency or burning, then this result is likely from a contamination from normal skin bacteria in the sample. The safest thing to do is repeat the test or do a home urine dipstick to check for leukocytes.
