Brief Answer:
Not a cause for concern

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Let me assure you that our urine contains micro organisms and that is perfectly normal. Unless the count is above a certain limit it is not a cause for concern. Since the urine culture shows no growth you need not worry.

However, if you can mention the symptoms that made you visit the doctor and get the test done, I could guide you accordingly.

I will await your response.
