A member asked:
Urine culture showed strep viridans 10,000-25,000 bacterial colonies. mild burning at the end of urination in a female. should antibiotics be used?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe, maybe not: Strep viridans is not a common cause of UTI but is often present in the genital area and easily contaminates voided urine. And real UTI usually has higher numbers. But if 2-3 careful clean-catch urine specimens show signs of infection (increased WBC without epithelial cells) and had the same culture result, with no other bacteria, a trial of treatment might be warranted. Discuss with your doctor.
