Hello,
It is normal to find some bacteria in the stool but the type and quantity of the bacteria is important.
It is a pathogenic bacteria than there is infection.
It the fungus is a normal flora of the gut not need to worry.
But if it a pathogenic type it indicates infection.
Treat advised accordingly.
