Hello and thank you for asking Healthcaremagic.

I am Dr.Endri Katro and I will be answering at your questions.


This urine culture shows that there are bacteria E.Coli and it shows what kind of antibiotics will work in this infection and what antibiotics will fail since this bacteria is resistant in most of the antibiotics.

BUT the comment "Doubtful significance" and the number of bacteria present per ml shows that it is not an urinary tract infection,but a contamination of the urine sample.

There is nothing to be worried here.

If you have any other question,don't hesitate to contact me.
