Yes, this might be a cause of prostatitis. However, more detailed testing is required to know for certain. Probably you are in the care of a urologist, who is the best source to advise you. Good luck.

It is possible -tho staph is often a contaminant. I would suggest repeat testing making sure there is no contamination during collection
