A member asked:

Is 1, 000-9, 000 colony fram positive cocci significant?

Depends: It depends on were the cocci were isolated from, for example if this was isolated from the urine and the patient has no symptoms, the cocci can be a contamination; on the other if it was isolated from the sputum or the blood and the patient has fever, elevated white blood cell , this could be significant and it depends also on what bacteria the cocci turn out to be.

Not likely: It partly depends on the source, but assuming a urine same, this is not an issue.
