In brief:
Not likely
Bacteria are part of the contents of the vaginal barrel.
When infection is present due to bacteria there are usually large numbers of leucocytes and few epithelial cells. All told, however, test results are not always accurate, and best to discuss this with the doctor who ordered this to begin with.
