HI, I have done test of Urine for culture and sensitivity of my mom report is mentioned below. Please check and tell us that is there any problem in that. Why they are asking for again sample Culture shows mixed growth of organisms. Note: Isolation of more than two types of organism in urine culture generally signifies contamination during the collection procedure of the urine. Please send repeat sample after proper collection. Kindly send repeat sample after proper collection.

The sample shows contamination and therefore they have asked for properly collected urine in a sterile bottle given by them and mid stream sample need to be collected . ( the bottle should be opened only just before collecting the mid part of the urine flow )
