These are normal results. You do not have a urinary tract infection.

Leukocyte (WBC) esterase, released from broken-down leukocyte, an indirect test for WBC in urine. Over 5 WBCs in urinalysis suggests possible UTI. UTI is confirmed by urine culture. The number of colonies of bacteria in your urine culture is not consistent with UTI unless your urine specimen was obtained by catheterization.
