Staph A now in urine

[Mistyjo]

Has anyone else also cultured Staph A in their urine? Jasey has cultured it twice in her throat swabs but now she has cultured it in her urine. I don't know if this is normal or should I be concerned?
At Cincinnati children's you can get online and read lab results prior to talking to doctor. I'm waiting for a call back from urologist and I sent email to cf specialist. Any thoughts? Advice?

Yes, years ago I had chronic UTI's , staph was a common bug in my case. Bacteria is everywhere, staph is no exception so any part of your body can get an infection when it is vulnerable. Girls are unfortunately more susceptible to UTI's. E coli is another common bug to culture in the urine because the urethra is so close to the anus in girls. Make sure she wipes from front to back always. Bathing in a tub also predisposes people to UTI's, so take showers instead of bubble baths. It is good that you already have a urologist on board, he will make sure that your daughter gets the right treatment and testing if she continues to repeatedly culture bacteria in her urine.
