A member asked:
Should i take antibiotics if i got positively tested for small amount of veillonella spp. - veillonella ratti in semen? can this bacteria cause prostate inflammation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk to the doctor who ordered the testing for final treatment recommendations, but this bacteria is considered a normal part of the bacterial flora of the body. It’s presence may signal contamination rather than true infection.
