A member asked:

Urine culture showed 15000 cfu/ ml of alpha strep-like. not studied further. does this mean infection? why not studied further?

This organism at this count can be a contaminant and if no symptoms needs no follow up exam

No, rather contamination, not the number needed, nor the type of bacteria that are typically seen in UTI’s. Your current doc should be able to coordinate further diagnostic work up.
