You do not have symptoms, then no need to worry. It is probably contaminant from the surface and it is possible that it is Occasional bacteria.

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, your results are not a cause for concern. Wish you good health!
