A member asked:
My urine culture shows less than 10,000 colony forming units of bacteria per milliliter of urine. what does that mean?

You do not have urinary infection. The amount of bacteria in your urine is within the normal limits. Drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless. Wish you good health!

If you have no symptoms then this is from the specimen getting contaminated during collection. If you do the you may have an infection no matter what the colony count.
