My daughter is 5yrs urine culture came with no bacteria growth but she did have a bunch of microorganisms what's that mean
Jan 7, 2016

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Kindly send me a copy of the urine test report because I can't seem to grasp what these microorganisms are. Sometimes of the urine analysis, bacteria may appear and these are called contaminants, and the presence of numerous epithelial cells gives us a clue that the urine sample is contaminated with the bacteria that naturally inhabit the skin surface (the "good" bacteria), especially if the cleansing process with iodine solution prior to giving the urine sample was suboptimal.
