I ve got a stool test. The results show that I have: Heavy growth mixed Gram negative flora. Scant growth mixed Gram positive flora, and the Mixed Flora consists predominantly of: enterobacter aerogenes -heavy growth and Citrobacter freundii -heavy growth. How bad are these two? Do I have to get rid of them?
