A member asked:
Urine culture has mixed growth of 4 bacteria species isolated. viable count: <10 (small letter 4) /ml probably contaminants.what does this mean to me?

Meaningless: Almost certainly this means 1) you don't have a urinary tract infection and 2) the urine specimen was not a good "clean catch"; all those bacteria almost certainly come from your vaginal opening, labia, etc. (That's why the lab called them "probably contaminants".)
