What else was: in urine culture report? All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Wish you good health!

Bacteria : If a patient has no symptoms of a UTI then antibiotics are usually not needed. There are times where we would provide antibiotics under the circumstances of bacteria in the urine. Speak to your doctor
