Normal sputum: These are normal sputum Gram stain and culture results. How important or reassuring that is depends on much more information from medical history, physical exam, other lab tests, and probably chest Xray or other imaging. Discuss with your doctor. Good luck.

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. Having said that, if these results from a sputum specimen, you do not have infection, but it was spit/saliva, no conclusions can be drawn. Wish you good health!
