Much more info needed in order to make a proper reply. This information alone might be entirely normal and not need treatment.

From no antibiotics to a combination of antibiotics, above bacteria are generic and clinical correlation would be needed for targeted treatment. Ultimately an antibiotic susceptibility test may help guiding treatment when needed.
