Not clear: It is not clear in the question what what the swab test was done on. Was this on saliva, urine, skin, an area concerning for infection? Consider contacting the doctor who performed the test. Seek clarification on why the test was done and what the test results indicate. Then ask for clarification on the plan of care.
