Hi and thank you so much for this query.
How often is she having diarrhea? Unless more information is provided or the severity of the diarrhea warrants intervention, there is no clear information to suggest that she has an active infection right now. The gut is full of bacteria and a report of bacteria without increased leucocytes isn't any reason to conclude on a possible infection. For now, I recommend monitoring and increased fluids administration.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. I wish your daughter well.
