Staph & Enterococcus could be the infection...E coli could be a contaminant. These could be a kidney problem...(especially staph...most common.) Remember...the bacteria could be secondary infections to a primary problem. Counts like she has may well be a pyelonephritis...especially is she is relatively symptom free. Actual kidney problems have many possible causes and her Dr. should dig into solving what actual area of the urogenital system is involved.... There is so much more info needed to say exactly what is happening to this woman... Until she has some tests run, Garnet's advice of acidifying the urine and drinking volumes of water is good. Dr. Kenney
The three bacteria that showed up in the urine test are....... E-coli, Staph and Enterococcus. Would this be a kidney problem? Bill Amos -------------------------------------------------------------- E coli and staph are bacteria...not virus...but this probably just a typo, right? It is also unusual for a gram neg (Esherichia coli) and a gram pos (Staph) to show up in the same culture. Bacteria could show up in the urine without having a bladder infection. Ie: Severe glomerulonephritis where the glomeruli are damaged, pyelonephritis, etc. Glomerulonephritis is very serious.... Dr. Kenney Hi Garnet: I talked to the lady again today and she said there were 3 live viruses that appeared in the test. E-coli, staph and one other that she couldn't remember. The test mentioned 100,000 units ofeach. The Doctor mentioned that it was unusual for these types of live bacteria to show up in the urine test. Bill Amos -------------------------------------------------------------- Bacteria would not exit the body through the bladder. She must have a bladder infection. Since CS ends up in the urine within an hour or two of ingestion it should help. Cranberry juice and Vit C will acidify the urine and also assist. Lots of water to flush as well.
