Hi,
The culture shows moderate growth of routine respiratory flora which remains in normal respiratory tract of healthy person and remains inactive due to immunity. In such a case, if you don't have any symptoms, you should be happy to find that staphylo has been removed.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
