A member asked:
My urine culture test ,mixed bacterial flora. multiple bacterial morphotypes are indicative of a contaminated specimen. suggest appropriate recollection with timely delivery to the laboratory, if clinically indicated. i self cath since 2020?

The report indicates that too many different types of germs were found to clearly indicate an infection. This finding implies contamination from common skin germs. The wording suggests the specimen sat at room temperature for a lengthy period and allowed contaminants to reproduce. If an infection is suspected, collect another sample with better technique & refrigerate until delivery to lab.
