: This is a common contaminant bacteria and it does not require antibiotic treatment. Unless you have symptoms of bladder infection(frequent urination which is associated with a sense of urgency to urinate), you do not need to do a urine culture. If you have the above symptoms then you should visit your doctor for further management.
