Hi...Enterobacter cloacae is a normal commensal in our intestinal tract. Usually when this organism is grown in the urine culture it is advisable to repeat the urine culture in a more sterile way by a catheterized sampling. If there is no fever and vomiting then it is unlikely to be urinary tract infection. I suggest repeating a urine culture by a catheterized sampling.
